Just get the ASUS P54TP4 board - you'll find it's more than fast enough without the pipeline cache, and you can always retrofit it later. I'm still using an older P54NP4 board myself and like it just fine.. I can't be bothered to switch to this newfangled EDO stuff.. :-) Jordan P.S. There's also the memory barrier. ASUS *emasculated* the P5[45]T* line when they removed the extra 2 SIMM sockets, IMHO! :-( We have at least one machine we'd like to go to 192MB on, and you can only do that with the P54NP4 boards now.. Sigh..
