Anyone have any good/bad experiences with a company called Micro Generation, home office in Edison, NJ, with offices in New York City and Tustin CA.? Are taiwan motherboards a guarantee of problems? They have a 486-33 box for $2295 with 30-day money back offer (no "restocking fees") plus the usual 1 year parts/labor. The motherboard is a 6-layer Taiwan unit with OPTI and NEAT chip sets and an MR (?) Bios. They were using AMI bios, but feel that MR is a "better choice". The machine is compatible with "everything" [8-)], including Windows 3.0, Novell, and SCO Unix (they run Novell in Tustin and SCO in NJ). A 128K cache is included with bus speeds of 6.25, 8.33 or 12.5 MHz. Can support 4MB simms for a max of 32Mb in 8 simm slots. Base system includes a tower case, 2 Mb ram, one floppy, 200W power supply. Supports LIM4.0, shadow Ram and 70ns simm modules (486-33). Thanks for a prompt response! Marc Ries ries@venice.sedd.trw.com
