It may be more expensive, but you'll be happy in the long > run. I would if I could, like I said in my other message you won't be able to find any Pipelined Burst SRAM boards, I've been trying for 3 weeks to get them. I have been in direct contact with ASUS on these, they are not even able to get the chip to make them. I currently have 3 orders for these boards from people on my Back Order list. There is a 23% performace boost in memory write bandwidth on this board compared to a Neptune chip set board, and that is with the standard ASYNC SRAM. If your looking at any P54C motherboard this is the one to get, it is better than all the Neptune based boards, it supports 512K of ASYNC cache, and a very competitive price. Can you touch a Neptune based board for $299 with out CPU or $891 with CPU, that has on board I/O? -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
