The board has 3 PCI slots, 3 16-bit ISA slots, and an >ISA/VL slot (I suspect at least two of these are shared, but I'm not >sure which two), From what I have read, you should avoid motherboards that have both VLB and PCI. Tests have shown them to be slower than either VLB motherboards or PCI motherboards. Also, at work we bought a bunch of computers, and they came with these combination motherboards. We had several problems and the manufacturer ended up replacing ALL the motherboards with PCI/ISA versions. ----------------------------------------- -- Kevin Krieser -- Using OS/2 Warp -- New Address: kkrieser@ionet.net
