Wow. You clearly know your stuff, and I'm sure you're right about your specs. But, I definitely have the CUSL2-C (I'm looking at the box right now), and only 5 PCI slots. There is also an AGP (obviously) and a CNR that is shared with one of the PCI slots. This board was actually purchased around the first week of August last year, and doesn't have any of the on board video or sound features.

CUSL2? (Reply to this comment)

I think the board that you got is the TUSL2-C - which means that the board will support the newer 1.13 and 1.2GHz Pentium IIIs (in addition to the FC-PGA PIIIs and Celerons). The older version of your board - the CUSL2-C - does NOT support the 0.13-micron processors. And the fastest released PIII processor that used the Coppermine core was (is) the 1GHz PIII.

You've got two other facts wrong: The i815-series chipsets do NOT officially support any Celeron slower than 533A MHz (the slowest Celeron that was offered in FC-PGA packaging); the plain 533MHz Celeron used PPGA packaging and runs at a higher voltage than what the i815## chipsets officially support. And five PCI slots? The C/TUSL2-series motherboards actually have six PCI slots.

Nonetheless, I am rating your review a VH.
