The ET4000 would be great to compare ISA vs VLB vs PCI, but prices are out of control it seems.
Hold onto that Acer, in case you do get some more graphic cards 😀
Here's how I would approach it if you were attempting to compare PCI and VLB with two different boards: test the same ISA cards on both and if they are within 1% of each other on the ISA bus, then I would consider it a safe comparison. Just apply whatever difference there is on the ISA tests as a factor on VLB/PCI results.
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.
