MB-P4BWA Industrial Motherboard with ISA Slots

Dear Husband had this on his wish list, it had been on there for a while. I bought it this year for him.I ordered it late, my first order of something else was cancelled and I was scrambling to find him something. So I ordered this and put a photo of it in a card. Dear Hubs was very surprised to receive the board. It came a few days after Christmas, and he really liked it.From my layperson's understanding, he likes the fact it has certain slots that are a more established technology. Dear Hubs can use it with equipment that he has, which are used equipment he has acquired and stores in our garage. In other reviews I have mentioned that I have got to park my car in the 4-car garage once in our marriage.He took the board to the lab - the other scientists were jealous. I think he might be using it there until they get some in for the various projects that are going on there. What they are making - who knows? I do my best to listen, but I know my eyes start to glaze and I hear "Wha Wu Wha Wha..." like Charlie Brown's teacher.So, Dear Hubs is happy with the board, I am happy that it arrived close to Christmas. Once again I was the cool (psgetti cool - Big Bang Theory reference there) wife.

P4BWA has so many options. Using it for SCADA control with INtime operating system, Steeplechase control software and Citect HMI. CPU is Core 2 duo at 3.06, cpu usage is low with Windows 7 and 4 gig RAM. RS232 runs telemetry, RS422 runs local I/O, 1 - gig network connects control system clients, 1 - gig network connects engineering clients. PCIe dual video card runs two 23" wide Samsung. So far it has exceeded all expectations. First install, out of the box, easy to set up sata raid, no snags during software installs, all drivers worked, have no errors in event log. Wish all initial installs were this clean.

I've purchased at least 5 of these boards over the years to upgrade equipment computers that still used ISA slots. These motherboards are high quality, and I've never had any issues. I've only ever installed Windows XP on them, so I can't say anything about Windows 7 compatibility, but I wouldn't imagine any issues. If you need ISA slots, this is the way to go!

This morher board works great, But servise is awful :)) Do not had tracking ID, and replay on my message. sorry for my bad english.

I've purchased about 10 of these boards over the past few years to build systems that require isa card to run test equipment and have never had any issues. On most of the units I installed Windows XP SP3, but I just completed building two Windows 7 Pro systems and I had no issues. Windows 7 found all the hardware natively and I got a clean device manager first time booting into Windows.
