I also know someone who went all the way on a new board with all the latest
and greatest.  He did spring for the matched pair of DDRs and I must say
that so far it is impressive.  He has a PIV 3GHz jobber on there as well. 
No SATA HD ... yet. Nice board.  Myself if I were seriously thinking of a
PC type board I'd opt out for a dual PIII system.  I saw one not too long
ago that was inexpensive and was extremely tempted by it.  But first I'd
like to achieve what we set out to do over a year ago which is the PC/104
onboard wheelchair computer.  First things first and all that rot.  Then I
can think about fun again.  Who knows?  By that time I might be able to get
a dual PIII for a song.  La, la, la!  :-)
