<The EX chipset will allow external L2 cache and support 100 MHz bus.>

John, you misread the article. Here's what it said.

"Intel did not add an option to the 440EX that would allow installing an external L2 cache on the board. "

I also couldn't find anything about a 100mhz bus.

<Oh, one other thing -- the EX chipset will only support 3 PCI slots and 2 SDRAM modules. Lets see, 3D accelerator board, PCI sound card, network card and I'm full. No place to put SCSI or video capture or cable modem board or whatever!>

I think it still has AGP so that frees up 1 more PCI slot. I think!
