So, am I the only one with this board?

It must be pretty obscure. I can't find a single review of this board on any of the tech sites that were around when it was released. There's a bit of forum chatter, bit no in depth reviews that I can find unless my eyes are getting bad and I glossed over one or two.

That's...intriguing. Are there any standard benchmarks or other such testing that we as a community normally run when we come across a board as seemingly obscure as this one? I'd love to be able to contribute if I do have something rare within our own environment.

As for setting it up, I spent most of Saturday going through some of my older machines, including a Performa 631CD that I have for older mac stuff. This Win98 machine actually installed perfectly fine on the first try as opposed to the issues I've had with it in the past. I don't have a NIC in it, as I want to keep it as stray-update free as possible. I've got I think DX7c? on it as the newest version. I don't think the GeForce4 MX4000 I have in it will support anything newer. The only other updates are whatever happened to be on disc for the few games I've installed.

Found a pretty decent writeup for the board and it's upper-class sibling, the P3V4X here: http://www.dansdata.com/p3v.htm

Dan's Data is an Australian site, so it's possible that this board may be an Asia/Australia only release. That might explain why the North American and European sites don't have anything about it. It's really difficult to give or get advice on a board that wasn't widely circulated, if that is indeed the case.

Dan's makes a valid point about it having too many legacy ISA slots, though. By the time you got to the Pentium III era, everything you could want was pretty much ported over to PCI already so ISA slots just took up a lot of board space that other manufacturers were populating with additional PCI slots.That might also be a reason why information on these boards is sparse, nobody really bought them because of the lack of the same number of PCI slots as competing boards. That would be a big disadvantage for Asus selling a board with only 4 PCI slots when everyone else had 5 or 6.
