I think the relative performance is PC164 (with both memory banks populated), 164LX, and 164SX. I don't know of any good sources. Be careful to avoid the 164UX. This board does not support the SRM console & FreeBSD cannot be booted on it. I do know that you can find Personal Workstations (aka DPW, aka Miata) for somewhere in the $1000 -- $2000 range if you look hard enough. These are similar to 164LXs, but have slightly lower memory bandwidth.
