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.
