First of all, the stuff they tell you about their 486/50 is a bunch of BS. That's a 386 with a local 1k cache. Period. It's far from a real 486. $399 for that? You can find an entire 486DX/33 (real thing) mother board for that much money. Just get rid of your 386's and get a new mother board. Cheaper and "that" you help you as rendering machine on the long run. Just note that the most important factor in rendering is memory. Lots of memory these days far outcosts the computer (even a Pentium).
