ASUS P55TP4XE w/ Intel P54C 133
Intel Endeavor w/ Intel P54C 133
Micronics M54Hi w/ Intel P54C 133
SuperMicro P55CMS w/ Intel P54C 133

Which of the above motherboard(s) would you recommend for use with the 
following hardware and peripherals, where total money(s) available for 
the mb should not exceed US$1500?...Unless of course, you want to pay 
the extra $$$. :-)  I am willing to spend significant time "shopping 
around," if required.

- 48MB RAM (6 X 8MB 70ns 72-PIN SIMMS)
- Seagate ST5660A 527MB Enhanced-IDE HD
- Seagate ST12550 2.1GB Fast SCSI-2 (2)
- Plextor 4PLeX CD-ROM
- Diamond Stealth 64 w/ 4MB VRAM
- Sound Blaster SCSI-2 ASP w/ WaveBlaster
- USR V.34 Courier modem
- Microsoft Natural Keyboard
- Microsoft Mouse 2.0 (serial)

Take note:

1) The SIMMs are *NOT* EDO [RAM] SIMMs.  They are 8MB 70ns non-parity
   SIMMs. 
2) Current motherboard (ZEOS) holds 6 72-PIN SIMMs slots. 
   What options do I have to avoid "tossing out" the (2) extra 8MB
   SIMMs.  Is there any method of converting (4) 8MB SIMMs into (2)  
   16MB SIMMs?
3) Since this machine is being used for Win32 development-related
   purposes, the motherboard MUST support Windows NT Workstation
   3.51.
4) I will likely purchase a third-party Fast SCSI-2 controller, but 
   having an on-board SCSI option would be nice.

Closely following compatibility and reliability, my main concern is 
speed...to better both compiling and debugging times.  Upgradability is 
less of an issue in my case...

All comments and suggestions either through usenet or email are greatly 
appreciated.  Motherboard options are NOT limited to those specified 
above. I cannot afford to buy new EDO RAM...so existing SIMMs must be 
supported.

Thanks,
Ken
