The GA-586DX is a great board, but it will not do most or your list. It has not clock support over 66MHz, no SDRAM, no DIMM, no Ultra DMA, no concurrent PCI, not AGP, etc. But that is not its target audience. It is a very fine server board, and does not cost much more than the Adaptec SCSI card it replaces. It will go up to dual 200MHz (with or w/o MMX), caches up to 512MB, and supports up to 784MB of system memory. We have sold tons of these over the past 18 months, and the reliability has been very good. Kevin
