I was looking for a fast, preferably 486-upgradable 386-33 PC, when I found the following company in MicroTimes: Gallant Intelligent Computers (GIC) El Monte, CA 91733 (818) 575-0866 486-25 System: AMI BIOS 128 Cache 4MB meg main memory to 16MB TEAC 1.44 & 1.2 MB floppies 100 MB IDE harddrive AT BUS FDD/HDD Controller SuperVGA w/512K SuperVGA Monitor 1024x768 2 seriel, 2P, 1 game ports Big Tower case 250 watts power supply 101 Key enhanced keyboard All for only $2,890 Sounds good, but.... I called them up and it sounds like a typical oriental PC clone setup. I start to get nervous when the "technician" isn't know what UNIX is ("Sure, it will run all software..."). Anybody have any comments are know of reputable 486-source at or near these prices? Thanx, Marc Ries
