Why don't you go out and test this before going out and telling users
that are obviously more knowledgeable than you that they are wrong?
Andrew is right, or at least not wrong, whereas your misinformed
comments demonstrably are. You begin with a plain vanilla copy of
Windows 3.0 and apply the Multimedia Extensions. You end up with
Windows 3.0a. That isn't up for debate: try it if you do not believe
me.

Where Andrew's answer is incomplete is the 3.0a upgrade was available
separately. That isn't the case with the multimedia though since that
incorporated 3.0a in it. In short, you can't upgrade to multimedia
without upgrading to 3.0a.

Trust me: I know all about this. I still have a program that needs
Windows running in real mode. I keep trying to upgrade but it has
never proven cost effective.

"Radium" is a troll. The number of newsgroups the original message
was posted to should be an indicator, and the subject header "vintage
dream PC" should also be a telltale. He's done this sort of thing
repeatedly in other newsgroups, posting about nonsense and then when
he doesn't like the answer, acting like others are the problem.

Hi:

From the looks of all MoBo's on that site, the "UMC 386DX-40" is
probably the best for my vintage dream PC.

The 'system contents database' doesn't mention
that it has eight 4mb 30-pin SIMMs.

Just as easy for me: Amiga A4000. I still have an A500 (1986
model) and an A1200 (1993) in working order. Couldn't afford the
A4000.

Battleforge has been getting a pretty good turnout for Legacy events
weekly and I believe on some Wednesdays. Were talking about getting a
monthly Vintage event there as well. Who would be interested? Probably
for packs, at least at first.
