Nice!  Looks like it also includes an integrated port for the RapidRoad?  Very cool.  

For the benefit of other users, could you provide any more details on the "Overclocking options: 21.28 MHz or 28.38 MHz at extra cost"?  How does that work?  I don't see anything listed under "Configuration Options" besides whether to include the ACATune Utilitiy on disk or not.  Thanks!

Interesting model and one that reminds me of how the "big iron" guys do it like IBM and HP. They sell you hardware sometimes with features already installed. Want to access them? Sure... just pay the extra license few and off you go. Don't need them, then no need to pay.

I think this new model is going to raise a few more questions.  Such as is the license stored on the card, or on  your hard drive?  For example what if someone wants to sell the card, or transfer it to another machine, or if their hard drive crashes?  Also are the upgrades available at boot, or do they need to be activated by ACATune?  Not trying to knock the card in any way, just I'm very curious about it.  Best of luck with the new sales model!

If it doesn't support the Rev5 A500 mobo, it's useless to me and a whole TON of other people.

Maybe he'll have worked out whatever the bug is, by the time the next Rev. of ACA500 comes out?  Dunno.  Funny that, all the A500's I've owned going back to the early '90s have always been Rev6.  I've never even seen a Rev5 board.  Luck of the draw, I suppose!
