Very similar to Abits board, but unfortunately it has less expansion slots (1 AGP and 5 PCI, while the Abit has 1 AGP, 5 PCI, and a PCI/ISA combo).
With the exception that ABit is using the older KX133, while ASUS is using the newer KT133 set. Same south bridge (686A), improved north bridge. ASUS drops one PCI and has the evil AMR crap (at least it's on the bottom), but the chipset improvements are worth it. They also toss in a bunch of extra USB ports *shrug* and, for you IDE freaks, have an option for an ATA-100 controller onboard (in addition to the ATA-66 that's part of the chipset).

Anyways, this would be great to stick your swap file on...
yeah... Until you think... umm, well, if your swap is on ram... Why not just buy more system RAM? and just don't allocate swap. It'll always be faster if the mm layer never has to think about paging out. (Hey, you'll save some ca$h, too.)

Take 'lines' to be 'dots' and y ou have 6350dpi....
Kodak T-Max 400 can resolve a max of 125 lines/mm at 400 ASA in T-Max RS developer. How do these compare to DPI...I don't know.
That's in the neighborhood of 3000dpi, taking the above calc as a reference.
It's not accurate to compare.
With some careful consideration, you can compare them. Just keep in mind the bigger picture. (ie. don't let the media soundbyte you on it) So the previous post was in the neighborhood; just keep in mind which neighborhood.

Lessee... 250 lines/mm * 25.4mm/in. == 6350 lines/in.

Just give it a few.... With Athlon and Alpha using the same slots (both A and B), those cheaper boards will start coming 'round....
