hello people of earth,

I'm currently searching for a MPx board for media work (3d/2d). My needs are pretty best fastest AMD solution out now, firewire and if possible a u160 scsi controllr, preferably with raid.

So far I haven't seen such a beast. As far as top performer and I reviews I've read, etc, the MSI 6501 seems to be "it."

And its got nothing I'm looking for :(.

So basically I'm looking for suggestions.

It has to be AMD (wallet demands it)
Preferably with onboard firewire (for my dv hardware)
Preferably with onboard scsi (i already have u160 cheetahs)
Would also be nice to have onboard GoC nic, but i can't live without.


Thanks for any suggestions

I know of no 760MPX boards that have forewire, BUT Tyan does have a board that has onboard SCSI Dual CH 320, DUAL giga Ethernet, etc... It is the Thunder K7X Pro (S2469UGN)

That is the board that will what you need.

Good luck
