Thats pretty cheap! I just ordered a new mobo and CPU with DDr2 800 memory and wish I had seen this first!
I asked Flex what class of cpu they are putting in the 5000C/D and figured something in that range would be gud for the desktop. They are using Dual Core Mobile chips around the 2.0 Ghz range (with 4mb cache if I remember correctly). For a desktop computer, I would go (at least) for the Intel Dual core E6300 on upwards. Modt mid-line motherboards now have firewire ports (at least the ones I was considering). Some even use TI chips for this but most use other brands. Flex are you still recommending any specific firewire controller chip for the 5000a?
