okay, i want to buy one of these things. but- im not sure which one, because the second most expensive one SOHO seems like it is better than the most expensive one...
i will be having many p-I and p-II running on these. and up to 1Ghz cpus it will run on. the ram will be no less than 64. most cpu's will be overclocked. some one wanna tell me which one to download?!

The newest one.  I doubt they would leave out all the stuff listed in the 3.2 one.  Plus kernel 2.6 is faster, and all your system appear to be able to handle VL 4.3.
