Yeah, I checked the ASUS site, and the P3C-D looks good, but it uses RIMMs indeed. And there is no version with on-board SCSI. Perhaps the P2B-DS is my best bet. I think it will work with P3s too. And I stand corrected, there is no P3B-D, just a P3C-D. Ernst The Hermit Hacker wrote: > > check into the specs first ...
