Bugger bugger bugger bugger bugger! Now *THAT* looks like a nice
motherboard
- and if it had a few more PCI lots for more than two tuners then it'd be a
no-brainer! The larger version (the i915Ga-HFS) only has one extra PCI slot
but I guess that three tuners would do...

/me googles for suppliers and prices!

Got plenty of that already...

Nooooo!

"The board has 2 x DDR and 2 x DDR2 memory slots, which we'll discuss
later,
each group can support up to 2 GB capacity. The board also has a single PCI
Express x16 graphics card slot, one PCI Express x1 slot and two traditional
32-bit PCI slots. The board uses a standard 20-pin/4-pin power supply
configuration, so this board will work with many older power
supplies."

No AGP slot...
