The specs are pretty standard with 5 PCI, 1 AGP, 1 AMR and 3 DIMMs. The layout is pretty basic without any surprises the AMR slot is right below the ISA slot. The positioning of the dreaded AMR slot varies quite a bit from manufacturer to manufacturer. Everybody seems to be adopting this as a standard. Do the power users not have a voice anymore?
