Really like the look of these ASUS 386 mobos.
I put the date to market of this one somewhere between late 1993 and first half of 1994.
If you dont care about period correctness then ISA GD-5434 will be a good fit, quite expensive these days.
Otherwise a "cheapo" et4000/w32i will be just as good I think.This UMC chipset is not super fast, post some perf data if you can, it will be good to see how it does over there.
I dont know how that card compares to the GD5420 which ive got, but I guess I will have to settle for that until I can find such a card, I see there is a member here working on building them.
IDK much about the specs on this UMC chipset, but i was assuming its better than the 3 SiS chips used on the ISA-386 (and ive been told that those boards were real fast)
I dont have it in a system yet, but can try and grab some perf data (looks like i need linux?)

What software do you use it for?
I plan to run MS-DOS and windows 3.11
Will likely run most of the 2D DOSgames we used to play as kids on the school computer, duke nukem, commander keen, secret agent, and 3D games such as wolfenstein will likely work too, dunno about doom though, would probably need a 486 for that.
