I know 6 other people in town who also have this configuration. It is a nice system and gives you about a 7 fold improvement in most functions. In short it trucks. I would seriously suggest that you look at the 2630 card though, because it offers nearly the same performance and it should be available at a lower price -- or maybe GVP will have to lower their price now there is some competition. If you have any other questions send me mail. PS. I am using it with a 2090 card and a 4.2 rev. motherboard and have two problems with it: first I cannot get SETCPU's kickrom to load a 1.4 kickstart (this is most annoying for a developer) and second, I cannot reliably use FASTROM mode because the 2090 card will hang at random points during hard disk transfers (this is why I wrote "FileTest" which appears on Fish Disk 284).
