building cheap dedicated system (possibly ECS K7VTA3), need advice

Howdy,

I'm building a new dedicated system on the cheap ( possibly possibly K7VTA3 based) ...I've had too many lockups and failures when coming back from suspend.

My MOBO requirements are:

- Cheap
- Rock solid suspend/resume
- Hopefully a MOBO that will handle the Actisys/suspend/resume problem ( although this may be a Sage problem )
- Able to use my Nvidia GeForce 3 card ( i.e voltage reqs )
- Support Two Hauppauge cards 250&350
- At least 3 PCI slots


Anybody using a K7VTA3 w/ suspend/resume?

I've read about Hauppauge/Via issues...Should I try to go the NVidia Nforce route?


Thanks!

Why get a 250 AND 350..? Just get two 250 MCEs and get a nice USBUIRT instead of that crap Actisys
