Your dream motherboard
This is a discussion about Your dream motherboard in the Slack Space category; This can be anything. It doesn't have to be an actual spec or even be in the works. It doesn't have to conform to an ATX standard. . . It's your imagination. Me: I'd like a dual Athlon MP board with an nForce chipset, 3 32-bit PCI slots, 2 64-bit/33MHz PCI slots, 3 64-bit/66MHz PCI slots, 1 100MHz PCI-X slot, 1 AGP ...

VIA P4X333 with DDR333 and AGP 8x
USB 2.0
UltraATA/133.
VIA emphasizes that the bandwidth of their bus between the Northbridge and Southbridge has been doubled, now delivering 533 MB/s (just as fast as SiS, twice as fast as the Intel Hub architecture).
AGP 8x
6 PCI
gett'n there

My dream board:
Quad Channel 400mhz or better DDR supporting 8gb of DDR
Dual CPU
No serial
No PS2
No Parallel
No onboard sound
No floppy(*but supports boot from USB floppy)
Onboard intel chipped gigabit Ethernet(2 ports)
Onboard Firewire.
Onboard USB2.0
Onboard 802.11b(or a)
Onboard 4 channel HPT374 ATA133 RAID
Onboard Serial ATA (support for 8 devices!)
AGP8x
6 PCI (64/66 that supports 32/33) slots
Support for 2 PSUs.
a dozen fan connections with their own dedicated leads(that won't burn out)
onboard support for Compact Flash and SmartMedia
