Anybody know anything about this board?

Looks excellent at first glance and well priced. Then when I see 6 usb ports and no PS2, parallel or serial port I would stay away as even if you want to go all usb, and I would rather have 2 root canals at once rather than do that, then 6 usb ports would never do.

Thanks Rich, I really didn't notice that as I always took it for granted they would have the PS2, until i read you guys discussing it. I still let it slip my mind as the price of this board was $99 if I bought today...I'm going to pass.

USB crap...

"I can't get to XP's boot options, I have a USB keyboard"

"I just plugged in my USB device. My computer froze and it now says that "Windows can't start because such and such is missing or corrupt".

...and the beat goes on.


That beat makes me a lot of money.

Glad to help Larry, I was really puzzled by that...
