*sigh* HTML in email is EVIL!
But back to the point... the ASUS A7V133, is a VERY NICE motherboard. That's what I'm
running right now.
It supports 266 FSB, it has a Promise ATA Controller on board, which will handle 4 IDE
devices. IT then
comes with the regular IDE controller that all motherboards come with. So you could
have 8 IDE devices
in the machine provided you have the room in the case and then room on the power
supply for the 8
devices.
But if you want recommendations for a motherboard, you really need to know what kind
of processor you're
looking to go with. The A7V133 is a AMD motherboard. I'm not sure if they make a
motherboard like that,
that supports Intel.
The motherboad is about $150-$160, but it's worth it!

| hy,
| i dont know if there are special drivers for linux but the asus a7v133 has
| 4 ide channels. 2 are normal ide's, so they work under linux for sure.
| the other 2 are controlled by a promise chip (for win98 you need a driver
| from promise for them).
| the connectors can be used to access 4 ide peripherals, or the
| 2 primary ide's can be used to build a raid-0 array.
