The advantage the > >ASUS P55T2P4 has is NCR SCSI bios and the mediaslot(maybe?). It also allows (*totally unsupported*) you to set the external clock to 75 or 83 Mhz. A (2x83) actually gets a higher Winstone97 (as if that were a decent benchmark) than a (3x66). I just put my order in for one today. I would have rather found an AOpen AP5T, which is a TX chipset that does the same thing AND supports SDRAM, but oh, well, I needed the MB by this weekend. Anyway, with this drift, it's time to move to chat, or something more appropriate.
