Chipset & Bios settings seem to make quite a difference with the performance
from what I've observed. Got a couple of 16Mhz boards and the performance differs quite a bit between them. My Headland H10 based 16Mhz board performs pretty close to my 20Mhz board probably because it can run the RAM with 0 wait states. The other one is a SARC chipset based board and it is quite noticeably slower...

The SARC chipset board is seems to be a bit of a dog to be honest, slow, doesn't seem to have EMS support that I can find, no shadow mem support ect
