The ad contains misleading and incorrect information.

It is always a bad sign when someone tries to sell you something with only 3 PCI
slots. You can rest assured that a lot of corners were cut. For example, I don't
think the PC2100 memory will support the 400mhz FSB the chipset supports. Also,
you will want more than 128Mb of memory. I recommend you recoil in disgust from
such "deals". You get what you pay for.

BTW, in one part of the ad it is claimed that you get 6 PCI slots, but this is
in error.
