Yes, but that would depend on how many PCI slots are
available. I'm looking for a MB that offers at least
3. (Not the PCI-E variety, but the prior PCI 2.2
kind.) Most of the current MBs seem to be going for
that dual PCI-E video card option that I guess the
gamers are looking for. Partly in order to
accommodate that, the older style PCI slots have
shrunk down to 2 or even just 1.

What is the fastest x2 (dual core) AMD that that MB
will support ?

It sounds like that PHY business did not stop you from
getting a built-in NIC working ?
