I was looking (more speculatively and for entertainment than in
anticipation of a near-future purchase, sadly) at their list just the
other week, and I find it *incredibly* annoying how they just list out
the names of boards, with no information aside from that about what it
IS (CPU sockets, PCI/AGP/PCIe counts, RAM, etc), leaving you to click,
back, click, back, click, back, click, back...   until you finally
give up and go buy a sliderule.
