yes, this --is-- off_topic, but i --am-- going to install freebsd on them, so please don't flame me too badly. i've spent yesterday and today seeking a usa vendor of intel mobos. i'm buying parts for 12 systems, using the 865g, 915g and 945g chipsets and a mix of appropriate p4 and cd in the lga775 package. my frustration is that the major online retailers have a distinct "latest, greatest and most expensive" mindset, i guess because their target market only buys one machine at a time. specifically, i seek the boxd865gsal and boxd915gavl, four of each. i haven't identified the 945 yet, but i find lots of those, so far, so i'm not worried. i --did-- find one vendor, "ncix", that claims it will special order these [ two weeks ], but i've never heard of them [ that doesn't mean they're bad, of course ]. intel's website considers these to be current product. anyone in the reselling game on this list ? anyone care to recommend a vendor with whom they have had good fortune ? anyone have access to intel's distributors ? i send this as a shot in the dark. thanks in advance. rob
