Actually, the only reason I care about PCIe is because I plan on getting

Not a gigabit NIC, but I've got a mobo with 6 PCI's and an AGP, an
ASUS A7V600-X I believe (not at home to peak at the mobo).  It's
Socket A, not sure if that's what you want.

The gigabit NIC is the kicker. Serving HD to multiple FEs and hosting thin clients can cause a noticeable latency on a 10/100 NIC. Motherboards with a gigabit NIC, >3 PCI slots, and AGP are scarce.



I'm personally drooling over the Abit IC7-G. Firewire, USB 2.0, 4 PCI slots,
an AGP slot, Gigabit, and optical 6.1 audio in-out, and quad pumped dual
channel DDR all built-in. I've seen 'em for about $120.

That might be the one for me.  Please get me a drool bucket.
