I am considering purchasing a high end 486 in the near future (486DX2/80?)
for use as a new news server.  Having heard so many good things about PCI,
the NCR 810, etc., and not knowing anything at all about PCI, I was
wondering:

Is there a good 486 PCI motherboard available?  What chipset should I be
looking for?  Can I jam multiple NCR 810's on the thing and expect it to
work?  (say, for example, 3 or 4 of them).

Any suggestions/advice appreciated.  :-)

Thanks,

... Joe
