I realize that Sandy has to check out his power supply. Regardless, I too would like
some comments/suggestions on new motherboards. I would like to update mine to get
rid of a motherboard memory cache problem (causes occasional traps, when up and
running). I'd like to get rid of all add-on boards, since the problem appears to be
caused by the NIC's I'm using. Unfornatunely, to date I have not been successful at
using any board internal network adapters (the NIC drivers refuse to load properly,
because of IRQ sharing issues). Also, I'd like to move up to the PCIExpress graphics
setup. So, ..., some questions (below):

1. Does anyone have a board that has PCIExpress graphics? And if so, are you
using this set up with a digital output to your monitor? If you are using an add-on video
board, which one is it?

2. Does anyone have a board, that has an internal network adapter, which you
are successfully using? If so, what board, what internal adapter chipset?

3. Does anyone have a board that has an internal video adapter, that you are
successfully using with the SciTech driver? If so, do you also use the digital output to
your monitor?

I am using SATA drives with my system, so that will not be a problem. Thank you for
any help and suggestions on this.
