Everything looks fine to me. You should check out the Soyo Dragon board though. Runs about $130. It's black with purple pci slots! 6 usb ports (2 onboard, 4 headers), 6 channel dolby digital onboard sound that's supported by linux (the company that made the chip distributes the source for the drivers and they are very full featured) SPDIF in/out and optical in and out. Onboard sound usually sucks, but this onboard sound is sweet. Onboard ethernet also which is supposed to work fine with linux. 6 ide channels (4 of which are RAID capable). Did I mention it's black? A friend of mine bought one. It runs win2k, but he says it's the best board he's ever owned (and he's had many). Jay -----Original Message----- From: Bob W.
