I'm about to start building a 486 to cover the pre-Pentium years.. I have quite a few motherboard and CPU options, but I can't decide on what to use. I have a P133 system to cover the 1993-1995 (and some 1996) late DOS games including Doom, Quake and early Glide titles like Tomb Raider. I want to use this 486 PC for early Sierra, Lucasarts, Origin, SSI, Westwood, Microprose, etc. games. The second target I have in mind is building something that can play Ultima 7 Pt 1. but can maybe be de-turboed to around 386 levels of speed to run games like Wing Cammander and early Sierra adventures. Is there a sweet spot 486 build for this?
