My problem with the M2NPV-VM which is a great little motherboard, is the limit of 2 PCI cards, leaving you with the option of either two skystar cards or one of each skystar and Hauppauge.<BR>
I suppose the smaller motherboard size is a draw-card like the smaller case size but for me its card slots.<BR>
