The ASUS PCI/I-SP3G has a very good memory system on it, don't expect
any other 486 class machine to be able to touch this board on performance.

You will find that the memory bandwidth on your board is about 20 to 40%
faster than any other motherboard on the market, except perhaps some of
the very rare boards that use SRAM for main memory.
