Why not?  We only need a little bit of solder and decoding circuitry to
wire up any one of those PCI and AGP bridge chips.  I have always wanted
to see a 386 used to its potential.  We could bridge up a few dozen pci
slots and control the world with a 386.  An nVidia GPU too?  Absolutely!

Back in my 386 days, we used coprocessors to speed up the anemic
lobotomized intel cpu's.  See where I am going with this?  Now,
*technicially* that would be a 386 system, but with just a bit of help.  
I have seen strange things before...
