Dick,
If I recall correctly, waaaayy back in the mid 90s :-), I heard that the
VLB/PCI boards were slower than a board with one or the other combined
with ISA. Have you, or anyone else experienced that? This thread
reminded me of a friend in collage, who at the time was trying to decide
if he wanted to get PCI or VLB. I said, why not get a MB with both, and
he said that they weren't as fast as a motherboard with only one or the
other.

I've got a Pentium board with 3 VLB and 3 PCI. That's about right, I think, but
I'd surely like to get the ~1994 BIOS updated.
