I have a Supermicro P6DGS
D = dual processor
G = 440GX chipset (the idea being that 440GX is the lastest rev of
440BX, and should have any bugs fixed in it)
S = dual channel ultra wide SCSI (both single channel/bridge U2W
SCSI (U suffix) and EIDE only (E) are available. Those
flavors also give you 5 PCI slots (1 shared ISA) instead
of 4 (1 shared)).
I've got piles of old SCSI devices, and didn't want the
fast traffic on the same wires as those drives & cables
with questionable electrical parameters.
About $400. My one complaint is that I can't find anyway in the BIOS
to disable the boot-time keyboard check :-(
