The last two golden gate 486 boards went for around US$500 each.

No idea about the 386 boards.

500$ is way too much... I have a 486slc2 , you cannot play DOOM on it with a decent framerate, even if u use a CL5428 ISA VGA ...
with the 386sx board +ISA VGA +ISA sound you can play classic DOS games with ease  :-D



I have this exact same setup including putting the Cyrix upgrade chip on there.  I have an A2000 so I had to shell out another 100 on eBay for a proper HD disk drive to read 1.44 meg disks with...

I think the bottleneck is the ISA video card - isn't there an ISA ET 4000 that's faster?  I looked around but could find no information.

Also - isn't there a clock tripled Cyrix 486sl part?  Am I dreaming this? Or is it just really rare?

The FPU can be had for $10 on ebay.
The FDC - I have no idea where to get.  I never use mine. I'd have to remove one of my Amiga Floppy drives.  While they run at half speed in DOS, it's a fair trade for having both drives avilable on both the Amiga and DOS side.
