I have been having extremely good luck with the Biostar MB-8433UUD. 3
PCI slots 4 simm slots. Only problem is you need to get the absolute
LATEST Award BIOS for it or you will have to set BIOS defaults by hand
for chips like the X5. I'm running two here right now one with an AMD X5
and one with a Cyrix 5x86-120 both run fine. Side note : I have yet to
find a fast 486 motherboard that would work with 4 or 6 chip 2x32 simms.
This manifests itself in dozens of unrelated problems. I was unable to
get an Adaptec 2940UW to work properly until I switched memory to 16chip
2x32 simms. I've noticed this problem on ASUS, Acer, and Biostar
motherboards.
These boards ( Biostar ) use the UMC chipset which, true to standard UMC
form, towards the end of the lifespan of the chipset finally get all the kinks
worked out...
