Just a few weeks ago I retired my 486/DX2-66 that I bought in June of 1992. Paid more then $3600 for it with a 4MB Cardinal video card with the Weitek P9000 chipset 8MB of RAM and an incredible 120MB hard drive. The harddrive controller, video board and I/O controller board are all full-length ISA daughterboards. There are no integrated devices on this MoBo at all! The system ran as my home firewall/router for the last 6 years running first RedHat 5.1 and now Debian 2.0. After replacing the bios battery with an external pack of AA batteries a few years ago, it ran fine until recently I tried to figure out why my connection stayed so slow.....the 486 couldn't handle the compression/decompression of the PPP modem connection fast enough. I popped out the hard drive and put it into a Pentium 200 MMX that I had, rebooted and continued on working as usual.
