Thanks, so you prefer one without a parallel port, do you then buy a pcie parallel adapter to put in the cabinet, or do you solely rely on the mesa cards to run out of usb/ethernet?

Yes i do prefer without parallel port whenever i can manage to get the Mesa boards, otherwise i still use parallel ports on a lot of machines and i still have some add on parallel port cards.

The only ITX i have is the daily driver on my desk, it has very good latency, but it also has a eye watering price tag.
From experience, new boards are a cr@p shoot, had a better/higher priced board that was terrible for latency, this one is perfect, my bro had a cheaper one that was also very good as far as latency it concerned.
All AMD, B550 and X570.
I still have a stinking suspicion it also has to do with processors but could not verify, this is what i got from short tests:
bad latency = Ryzen 5 3500X
good latency, Ryzen 5 3600, Ryzen 7 3700X, Ryzen 9 3900X
The suspicious part? 3500X has no hyperthreading, all the others do, and on Intel systems the first thing to turn off is hyperthreading!

Mine are 4 core i5, fourth gen.
