The main thing to look out for is the pci-bus. A normal 33mhz/64bits pci bus can only do about 100 megabyte, if storage and and network are both connected to this bus contention will happen. (70mb ide, and 500mbit network just won't fit) Which is why most newer motherboards have dedicated paths for network and sata. This is also why serverboards have faster/wider and multiple pci buses, and why pci-e has dedicated paths for each slot. -- Sten Spans "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in."
