Well, it is pretty good at what it was intended for (a faster bus for video cards), and assuming you can live with the two-slot limit, works great for SCSI and IDE cards, too.. But, like most PC "standards", ultimately, it's a kludge. At any rate it works for me, so I'll live with it until I can afford a new Pentium (P6?) system like you guys.. :-) ---Jake
