In "What We Use - Last Updated 1-Aug-95", it says:

What have you been using recently?

I'm thinking of getting a 486DX2-66, with 256K cache, but
I haven't been able to find any AMI motherboards around here yet.

One store I visited told me "the brand of motherboard is usually
stated as the brand of CPU on it", which doesn't jive with 
the above document since it lists an SiS chipset on the AMI board.

What's more important to look for, the motherboard or cpu manufacturer?

Intel and AMD seem to be popular in the local stores here,
which of those two would people recommend?

The variety in PC hardware scares me - sorry if these are basic questions.
