From what I've seen on this form, (thanks to the many great posts)I've ordered the following new system:
Asus P5WD2_E Premium
Intel D950 3.4G
Kingston 1GB DDR2-533 ram(x2)
Samsung 200G S-ATA drives (x2)
Antec TruepowerII 550 EPS12V supply
Matrox P650 PCI-E dual vid
Vantec MRK-200ST SATA mobile rack (x2)
Lian Li ATA mobile drive bay
Zalman CNPS9500 copper cpu fan
HP DVD rom
External LG USB2/1394 DVD/CD burner
Thermaltake VA8000BNS case
XP Pro OEM SP2
I'll start off with installing 1 PulsarII card and see how it goes.
Have a couple of locations running a combination of tripleDat, Tdat16, and PulsarII cards and would like have the option of moving data drives around from the older systems into the Lian Li ATA mobile bay.
I have a wee bit of time to get the shop to change things, if anyone sees a hardware train wreck coming, please let me know

Also, if anyone has a list of BIOS setup tweaks for the P5WD2_E Premium that they could share, it would be greatly appreciated. I assume disabling the 7.1 sound would be a start.
Can I assume the XP setup instructions on musicxp.com are still the best and most valid?
Is it OK to install with Fat32 for back and forth compatability?
I assume no Standard PC but hyperthreading is OK?
Sorry for the long post, thanks in advance for any time you can spare.
