Howard, I'm looking at Micron also, there is a Mircon Tech REP on the PC Hardware Forum. His name is Steve Fredricks (CIS# 76450,1645), everyone seems to be very happy with his help. If you looking at using a PAR in the future keep in mind that it requires 2 full length slots, side by side. The Micron has only 3 full length slots, here is Steve's reply to my message: ********************************************* > Will all 7/8 slots accept full length cards in the MiniTower Chassis? < No. The limitation is because of the motherboard design (we have to put the CPU and SIMMs somewhere). The Millennia will only support 3 full length cards, 1 PCI and 2 ISA (of which one is in the shared slot position). ********************************************* Notice that I said "7/8 slots", the info that they sent me showed the P100 having 3 ISA slots and the P120 had 4 ISA slots. There is an error in there info, they all have 3 ISA slots. I like Micron, but I am looking at the custom builders such as JB Hunt(jOeY), Mark Demazza and Jay Ice. I'm hearing great things about them on the forum. I wonder if anyone of this forum has had any experience with them? Hope this helps. If you are thinking about a PAR, then you will want to consider the number of slots. Regards………..Rick – Technical Animations
