Eron, 1) What motherboard are you using? (Give model, part number or any other form of positive ID) MF: ASUS PCI/EISA 90/100 dual cpu. Don't have model # handy. 2) Was it easy to get it working with the Perception Video Recorder? MF: Not bad. Using the last PCI slot I could avoid the CPU sockets. 3) How many PCI slots does the motherboard have? MF: 4 4) Does the Perception daughterboard overlap one of the PCI slots so that you cannot use it for another card? MF: No, but it blocks an EISA slot. I don't have enough slots for a sound card since I have an IDE I/O card, a Network card, etc. It might be possible to re-arrange to fit everything but sound isn't critical for me. If I used a PCI network card instead of EISA, I could get a slot back for sound. 5) Where did you get your motherboard? MF: Cornell Systems (now defunct). However ASUS is very common via mail-order suppliers. 6) Do you recommend this board? MF: Yes, with one reservation: I'd prefer one with on-board i/o to free up a slot, so I could have my sound back. But this one works.
