I had a P6DLS, and it was a piece of shit. It still works, but the BIOS was bad and unflashable, so I had to get a new chip. Then, the IDE controller died. God knows what else is wrong with it.
Also, thier tech support totally sucks. Only by email, and you have to contact them about 10 times before they even respond.
BTW, most manufacturers make Ultra160 SCSI cards that will work in a 32 bit slot. I have an adaptec 29160N in one now. Granted, you can't use the full 160 MB/sec, but you have to have several hard drives running at once to even approach that figure. I have 3 10,000 rpm IBM drives (2 are in a RAID striped set), and I can't come anywhere close to 160MB/sec with all 3 of those running, both CD roms, and the zip drive.
Just something to think about.
