it looks as though my new machine may not be so far off, and I might=20
well get the same motherboard, although the fact that I had to search=20
for it on the Asus Web site suggests that they consider it to have been=20
superseded by something else.

I did look at the other A8N variants but didn't see any must-have=20
features. Is there any other feature you wish you had?

Somewhere I have read that with many modern motherboards it is necessary=20
to turn off "Legacy USB support" in the BIOS; did you have to do that?=20
Does that mean that the keyboard is inoperative until the OS's keyboard=20
driver has loaded? If so, how does one select which volume to boot from=20
in a multi-boot system? And would it have any effect on a USB-connected=20
KVM switch?

What memory did you get? ECC or non-ECC? I've always used ECC memory in=20
any machine I've built; I assume that using it in one of these boards=20
would have no ill effect on eCS SMP?
