I've had my best luck with tyan boards, the BP6 is a workstation motherboard, not a server.. intel also has some ok boards, not the highest preformance.. any reason you need a dual CPU system? most of your file/print/mail/backup is easily handled by a single CPU linux box.. where more money should be dumped into a good SCSI card, and some 10k RPM drives.. (i allways use IBM ultrastar drives) and i prefer to purchase dell systems for anything bigger than $5,000 something that needs better warrenty support Thank You, Ben Kochie (ben at nerp.net) *-----------------------* [ - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - ] | Unix/Linux Consulting | [ Haiku Error Message: ] | PC/Mac Repair | [ Chaos reigns within. ] | Networking | [ Reflect, repent, and reboot. ] | http://nerp.net | [ Order shall return. ] *-----------------------* [ - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - ] "Unix is user friendly, Its just picky about its friends."
