Perhaps you saw this already, but a Newegg search shows a single motherboard with > 3 PCI slots. It has 5 PCI slots. ASUS P8B-C/4L I doubt you'll find a motherboard with Firewire and many PCI slots. Firewire is more common on consumer motherboards, while lots of PCI slots is more of a server motherboard feature. Tyan and Supermicro have products with many PCI slots, but they may be unavailable at this point. http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/matrix/index.cfm http://www.tyan.com/tech/product_matrix.aspx galen -- Galen Seitz [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
