   You are correct . . . the magazine that I read didn't mention the 100mhz
bus on the PA-2013 but I checked on FIC's website and sure enough it does
have the 100mhz bus.  I questioned to myself why it wouldn't have the 100mhz
bus with the VP3 chipset.  I would think that either board would do a good
job, just depends on what form factor one wants to use.  BTW, if one is
concerned about ISA slots, the VA-503+ has 3 where as the PA-2013 has only
2.
