smaller is not usually better :) i got an asus p2l-n (NLX i440LX ?? or was it BX) and within a few weeks the onboard sound crapped out, asus never replied to my mails and the newsgroups were of no help, not much longer after that asus discontinued that board, but its still running, just with onboard sound disabled(it locks up hard when its on). i work on a daily basis with small systems trying to make them smaller, from what i've found the non standard stuff seems to be either less reliable or less performing or both. if your going for a socket 7 system i'd suggest the FIC PA2013 2MB board, or the 2MB EPOX board. if u want a real small system i'd suggest u buy one ready-made save yourself some trouble. or go for a single board computer/passive backplane, we deal with ICP - www.icpamerica.com they have cases/boards/backplanes etc ..big selection. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 1:38pm up 171 days, 1:50, 3 users, load average: 0.04, 0.07, 0.02
