motherboard appears to be a good choice for mid-to-high range Pentium
server and workstation systems. If you're really looking for performance,
be also sure to get the <htmlurl url="http://asustek.asus.com.tw/Products/TB/mem-0002.html" name="pipelined burst cache module">. It's worth the extra

based on the Orion chipset or investigate ASUS's SiS chipset based
motherboard, the <htmlurl url="http://asustek.asus.com.tw/FTP/ASUS/Info/Spec/pi-p55sp4.txt" name="P55SP4">. I have no personal experience with this
motherboard, but have heard good things about it and will note that it
has the advantage of being available <em>now</em>.
