==Legacy== [[File:Gigabyte_ga486im_motherboard_observe_croped.jpg|thumb|"VIP" motherboard GA486IM from [[Gigabyte Technology]]]] Despite these problems, the VESA Local Bus became very commonplace on later 486 motherboards, with a majority of later (post-1992) 486-based systems featuring a VESA Local Bus video card. VLB importantly offers a less costly high-speed interface for mainstream systems, as only by 1994 was PCI commonly available outside of the server market through the Pentium and Intel's [[List of Intel chipsets#4xx chipsets|chipsets]]. PCI finally displaced the VESA Local Bus (and also EISA) in the last years of the 486 market, with the last generation of 80486 motherboards featuring PCI slots instead of VLB-capable ISA slots. However, some manufacturers did develop and offer "VIP" (''V''LB/''I''SA/''P''CI) motherboards with all three slot types.
