After the rather long and nonsense thread title I would like to hear some suggestions to improve a bit the 2D rendering under WIndows 95 and general suggestions for this system.
As you can see from the pictures it's a very unusual BB revision 486DLC but with the math processor matching to avoid the bugs the BB had.
I also have a Drx2 25/50 but the clock gain will be reduced by it's 25Mhz bus, so I went for the 40Mhz
The motherboard is Cyrix aware so it enables the internal cache automatically, but I'm not sure about a few things about the BIOS.
20Mb of ram is plenty for win95 or dos
There's a Future Domain SCSI controller for the HD and CD-rom, I have not used the diskette controller for now but perhaps I will, currently the 5 1/4 drive is not connected.
GoldStar multi I/O, for now only for COM1 and diskette drive.
The Audiotrix Pro is awesome, it supports OPL4 and OPL3 at the same time and the digital audio is very clean, now I'm in a mission to find the several options there were available for it.
The weak point I think it's the CL GD5424, it supports true color and 1024-764 right now it's at 800x600 16bit color, but everytime you move or resize a window you can see how it redraws each line which takes half a second or so, it is still usable but I'm sure that can be improved, using lower resolutions or colors doesn't seem to affect the performance.

I wasn't able to install the Etherlink III it uses the same IRQ as the SCSI and I couldn't make it work in a different IRQ.
Any suggestions for a different ethernet brand/model ?
