will you have 64 or over RAM? if not, you can use 256 cache too, since
you dont use more than 256 until you have 64M+ ram...

actually, i recall machine being slower with 512 ans under 64M, anyone
correct me, please...

and i'd _MUCH_ rather take ASUS, i dont believe in rhino (isnt it octek
and not ocean?)

also, you might want to check the Gigabyte TritonII board, i forgot the
exact code, but that one looked really good one... unlike ASUS i saw
last week, GigaByte has less jumpers (none that i saw) and it has 6!
SIMM banks... (and 256kb pipeline, slot for more)
