Sorry for the somewhat on-topic but not quite message.. I am looking for PCI motherboards and hoping maybe someone had a few suggestions. I am not looking for any ol' PCI MB. I am looking for a MB that can handle multiple bus masters correctly (i.e. 486/Saturn II, or 586/Triton chipsets, etc). That's still not the hard part. I need to be able to handle 3 or 4 long PCI cards. The ASUS SP3G's and ASUS Triton-I boards I have here both have the CPU right in the wrong spot. I looked at an Intel Endeavor board and it looked somewhat promising, it looks to have three of four slots unobstructed. But I have zero experience with them. One of my PC vendor friends is pulling in a number of boards for eval, but I thought I would ask here first. Application: anything using things like an Adaptec 3985 (think: NFS file server) or a Znyx 314 (think: nifty router). Anyone solved this problem yet? :-) Thanks, ...
