Jim,
>> OPTI chipsets on Pentium 90 Motherboards.
Pick up the Sept. 27, 1994 issue of PC Magazine. In their review of forty
p90's, they mentioned that the Neptune chipsets outperformed the Opti chipsets
by about 10%.
I've built a number of 3DS systems based on Intel's Plato motherboard with the
Neptune chipset, and they have performed exceptionally well. The bios is flash
upgradable, and the onboard PCI controllers and I.O. have given us no problems.
(Knock on silicon…) It is important to upgrade to the 1.00.08.AX1 version of
the bios if you are planning on using SCSI.
