Well, I've used the Asus P2L97-S (I think... the PII board that only goes
up to 300) and it worked beautifully.  I used both the UW port and the
narrow, and had no problems, with a heavy amount of disk activity (heavily
loaded web server).  That was a 7880 based SCSI controller though, and
I've never worked with a 7890 so far except on a Diamond Fireport 40 that
gave me nothing but trouble.
