Fuchi and Kyle,
re:>>The brown slot in the middle of the board is the AGP slot.<<

I'm concerned about clearance of the AGP slot since there is a toroidal coil near the end that faces the back. I assume that the edge card connector is taller than the coil and there are no clearance issues. I also assume that an AGP slot is set up like a PCI or ISA slot. i.e., connections for peripherals come out the back like PCI video cards. As you can see, I'm not a PC expert.

please let me know if these assumptions are correct! It's hard to tell from the picture.

Also, does the via vp3 chipset support ultra dma? the epox tech descriptions don't mention it.

thanks again,
steve h

p.s. i'm more confused than ever. here's another motherboard i would like to experiment with! So little money and so many MBs.
