True, True, and at these current board speeds they no longer feel like constraints. More important for me is the continued presence of a VGA port when I'm using the onboard graphics. I'm sure VGA will soon disappear altogether since most of the home theater crowd no longer has a need. Not a game stopper, just another irritant for those of us with antiquated hardware begging to be reused. Of course there's still the BIOS lying in wait. The DN2800MT BIOS has gone through 3 revisions already. So far, none of the issues that have been fixed look like they would affect us. At the risk of boring y'all, I'll quote Ronald Reagan once again "Trust but verify."
