You can get a new P-90 board for $350?  Gee, I'm sure others would
like to know _where_.

How did CL "cripple" the Glint?  Do you have benchmarks?  Seen any
games?  No.  The CL board is expected to provide graphics performance
than a P-133 couldn't hope to achieve.  There are simply a lot more
486 owners out there unsatisfied with games performance than Pentium
owners at this point, and regardless CL is coming out with a PCI
version.  Get the Diamond board then if you must.
