Yes, exactly. And you get an extra SoundBlaster 16 for free. Man, this is really a great offer, since this board is much cheaper than a "real" 2940UW. : What about AHA 2940 (without UW), any experiences?? No sorry. I only have the mediabus version, and you can only get a 2940UW from ASUSTek. : What is better: UW or not? There is really no difference between a 2940 and a 2940UW as long as you only use fast scsi-2 devices on it. I bought it because it was cheaper than any other controller, and it is easy to upgrade if you need even better performance. Just buy a new harddrive and plug the cable in, that's it. No worries about a new controller... -chris -- If it's there and you can see it - It's REAL. If it's there and you can't see it - It's TRANSPARENT.
