Dunno. My PC has PS/2 keyboard and mouse, 4 USB ports, 1280x1024 graphics,
floppy, 4 IDE channels, RS-232, Parallel port, 100Mb Ethernet, stereo sound
input and output all on the motherboard, yet it still has 3 PCI slots and
an AGP slot on top of all that. I even have two cards installed -- a
graphics card in the AGP slot, and a TV card in a PCI slot.

I guess I'm just crazy for wanting more than the motherboard designers
saw fit to include on the board.
