I love my Asus K8N-DL. I've had it for a few years in my workstation, but with several firmware upgrades it's still very relevant. http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?modelmenu=1&model=456&l1=9&l2=39&l3=0 It's got dual Opteron sockets (dual-core capable for up to four cores). It has six DDR RAM slots (total of 24 Gig of memory possible). The chipset is nForce 4 Professional. It's got both nForce and Silicon Image SATA chipsets for a total of up to 8 Drives. It's been absolutely rock solid for me and since it's an older model you should be able to find it for a steal. I'm sure that ASUS has probably come out with several newer models - if any of them are compared favorably to the K8N-DL, consider them. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:281778 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
