ECS is definitely a budget brand, not a lot of features, but the board has been working great with my AXP 2400+, dc NIC, and 3ware RAID controller. It is a KT400 chipset board and the onboard LAN is supported (vr). Onboard sound seems to work, though the volume level is very low -- still trying to work this out. Not a big deal as the server is in a closet. :) Hmm, looks like it has been replaced by a newer version w/ AGP 8x and other foofiness that my server didn't need anyway: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=243838 Good luck, Matt
