Also there are no PCI-X capable graphics cards to my knowledge, I don't even know if PCI Radeons/GeForce's can do 64bit PCI, I would guess so, anyone know?

I'm actaully in favour of Serial and Parallel via headers but probably not PS/2
Good idea. But, USB can do serial and parallel. I don't know how many USB 2.0 ports you're planning but I'd say 6-8 would be good.

We need AGP
I think it depends on what you're trying to do with the motherboard's market. If the G5 is a solution to take us forward I think PCI Express would be a great addition. This would allow the current and future generations of ATI and Nvidia cards to be able to used on the Amiga. However, I don't know what's involved but you'll probably have to get Hyperion and/or KMOS to agree to create a PCI Express change so that will work as well as AGP. I can see the logic of staying with AGP as there's lots of inexpensive videocards and the AGP stuff is already in OS4. But, why not have the Eyetech G4 w/ AGP and the DD G5 w/ PCI-Express so the Eyetech board would be a low/middle board and the G5 would be a middle/high-end Amiga board.
