...someone PLEASE explain to me how the F.U.C.K that that thing works, and what kind of interface that thing uses...is it some kind of daughterboard that plugs into a bigger mobo that has all the slots and whatnot? it sure dont look like a PCI, is it that new interface standard everyone is talkin about?

EDIT: btw, a P4 wont werk in that, that board is a socket 370 and will work with P3's, fcpga celerons and solar powered flashlights...

It looks like a 64 bit PCI where you need a daughter board to connect extra cards (if needed) and it also has a PC104 connector

Ill get you some pics....

Heres a 586 133MHz bisquit board with onboard Gfx, DiskOnChip and without Sound and at the top a PCMCIA drive which plugs into the PC104 bus you can see the pins coming out of it and on the other side theres a female connector just like the one on the bisquit board so its possible to "pancake" more cards on top of it



Im thinking about buying 2 Net cards and building a tiny firewall

If they drop those ISA slots for AGP, then we can work a deal, until then I will have to hold out for a decent price on the FS51 or if they ever hit the shelves, the FX41 both from Shuttle.

These are Flex-ATX mobos with AGP slots and will go in a ground-up case build. I have just too many ideas waiting on hold, in fact, more then I can use in a single project.

If all goes well this Christmas, this is the board that I am getting for X-mas.... See It Here

It's an update the one mentioned in this thread. I just wish it had an AGP slot...but I'll survive!

You do know that was not a motherboard right? That's a backplane. You plug serveral motherboards into it and you can add extra cpu any time you want. Like the 104 boards do. and mainframes too.

the answer was...It plugs into a packplane.

BTW It's a computer not a server. All servers are computers, but not all computers are servers.

newguy, how long do you have to be here...or how many posts do you have to submit before you must consider changing your nickname? It'd be sort of weird having a 1-year veteran with 1000+ posts called "newguy"....
