    The asus p3v4x is a good board, but it still has that crappy via chipset. I can get a maxtor 20gb 7200rpm drive, and a soyo 6ba IV bx chipset motherboard, for about £270 Irish pounds. This motherboard is far better, in terms of stability, ease of setup and performance. It has 8 ide ports, and 4 dimm slots. Just my 0.02 euros.
