If I didnt need the parallel & serial port it would be a no brainer.... ABIT Serial ata for future action supports up to 12 ide devices... but I am no impartial as I have 5 running abit mb's and am a FANBOY
But in this instance I would have to go with the Asus and the standard legacy offerings..
I always say there are only 2 choices in mother boards ASUS and ABIT..
Shoot my almost 3year old BE6 is running a tulatin at 1466.. still totaly useable...
