Thanks for the digest. I think I'll take Dave's advice and pass on the IDE ultras, and look at a U2. I have some sbus cards that'd be nice to be able to use still. I assume that the 200 MHz ones are not really worth it, and that they'll all support 24-bit color...

Several decent deals on U2 boxes on eBay now...

Thanks.
