This is the newer board based upon the Intel Triton chip set, I'll let the list know how it tests out. I do have an ECS SI54P AIO board that has the exact same specs as the ASUS board that works just fine. I have seen one problems with the SiS 85C50X chip set, it does not seem to like my bt946C, hard hang on power up. It runs both my ncr810 and ncr825 controllers just fine. I have not tested it yet with the aha2940 since it also just came in today. I am wondering what the price looks like on this ``group purchase''. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
