Message-ID: <CEsGGr.DE1@festival.ed.ac.uk> Sender: news@festival.ed.ac.uk (remote news read deamon) Organization: University of Edinburgh Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1993 14:34:03 GMT Lines: 13 I'm considering upgrading my 386 machine by buying a 486 motherboard. Does anyone have advice on what to check for (chipset, BIOS etc) to ensure that it will work with 386BSD/NetBSD? Also, will all 486 33MHz boards work with 80nS memory, or do some require 70nS? -- Richard -- "For thousands of years, [homoeopathic magic] was known to the sorcerors of ancient India, Babylon and Egypt, as well as of Greece and Rome, and at this day it is still resorted to by cunning and malignant savages in Australia, Africa and Scotland." - J G Frazer, The Golden Bough
