Depending on your application (if you don't primary run little interactive prograns) I suggest to get the ASUS mainboard with the triton chipset. Much more memroy bandwidth, even withstandard simms. I rather use a NCR 810 PCI SCSI-Controller. Make sure to get the original Asus SC-200, others have problems with termination. Seagate Barrcouda is OK, High-End IBM as well.
