P.S. William -- you're not going to believe this, but I wrote this and
was just about to send and just realized you posted it. I honestly
wrote it _before_ I noticed it was you.
P.P.S. Lay off the desktop chipsets -- seriously. I'll loan you an

An Intel E7210 with two (2) PCI-X 66MHz slots starts at $180:

There are also various options with PCIe x4 and x8 slots (with or

card) for both single Socket-478/LGA-775 as well as Socket-939.
