I may be able to get one of these:

http://www.asus.com/Products/Motherboard/Pentiumpro/P3c-l/index.html

I don't tend to keep up with hardware stuff; I've always hated the PC
architecture and talk of motherboards and bus speeds and such tends to
nauseate me.  I therefore find myself quite unfamiliar with this
chipset, and I can't find reference to it in the archives.  I have
heard of the 440BX, but not this i820 thing.  So I'd really appreciate
it if someone says "Yes, that'll work fine", or "No, you can't boot"
or "It works, but not the USB controller" or something.  I'm
particularly curious about the IDE controller (I have an ATA66 drive
and it would be nice to use it) and the USB.

I'll be running -current on it; this is an upgrade for my play
machine.
