>I have it in a dell XPS P90 with 64 meg memory and a 1 gig and a 1.6 gig disk. I have the Microp 9 gig drive for the PVR. The board fits nice in the bottom slot of the Dell and leaves the other two PCI slots open.< Is that a Dell Mini Tower? I have the same system, but I don't have my PVR yet. Do you have the capture card? My understanding is that you couldn't use that PCI slot with the capture card installed. I'm looking to get a 4 PCI slot mobo. The Triton boards usually have the PCI slots to the right of the ISA slots, where the Neptune mobos have the PCI slots to the right of the ISA. That would allow you to use all 4 PCI slots on a Triton, the PVR/capture card combo would overlap a ISA slot. On a Neptune mobo you could only use 2 of the 3 PCI slots. With the PCI 8 channel 16 bit audio card coming from DPS I need all 4 PCI slots. I want to use video, SCSI, PVR, Audio cards that are all PCI. If I had another PCI slot I would through on a 100Mb/s PCI ethernet card. Oh well, I'll wait for the dual PCI bus P6 machines.
