I have a 486DX2-66 machine at the moment with a Trident 8900D ISA card in it and was wondering if the upgrade to a decent VLB card would be worth it.
I’ve heard everything about the 8900D from “its a bottleneck for a 386” to “it’s one of the fastest ISA cards” and I wonder if anyone could advise on whether an upgrade to something like a VLB Cirrus Logic CL-GD5428 might be worth it? I can’t really find any benchmarks or objective experiences to be sure about it. I’ll bench it myself later on but don’t have anything else to compare it to.
