It uses the Triton chip set, it has only 3 PCI slots, I have a vendor who is bringing the product in. Once he gets it I will take a closer look at the board. Given that it has the AMI winbios on it, I would guess it is a bad board for most Unix systems as you'll run into the interrupt sharing problems that the Intel Plato has. > Few questions: > Is a triton based board currently the best to buy? It is the highest performance in OEM type motherboards, it does have the miss feature of lacking parity support for main memory. > > I understand triton boards give better performance using > pipelined burst SRAM for the cache, and EDO SIMMS.
