Video Not Working? Fix It Now

The dream of playing Quake on my 486 with high FPS has been with me for twenty-six years. Is it possible for Socket 3 motherboard to output enough frames per second to fulfill my dream today? Please welcome Chicony CH-471A, a VLB 486 motherboard, based on SIS471 chipset.
