I normally would too. I don't anymore for HP products since hearing "factory integration" regarding plug-in PCI cards. > The B2000 is an exception.

The FX-e is soldered on the motherboard. ok - thanks - I've seen the fewer DIMM slots version but didn't notice the FX-e on the motherboard (or VGA connector on the back). I have seen a B2000 with 8 DIMM slots and 6 PCI slots like a C3000. This is no prototype - a real production unit. I'll have a chance to look more closely at this box again in the near future and will take some pictures. thanks for the correction, grant
