Hi all,

Anyone tried Omnios on this board?

There is also an 8-core version A1SRM-2758F would the extra 4 cores be
worth the extra money?

While there may be some rough-edges and disabled features for a while, Xeon D seems like a much better investment than an Atom CPU with an extra 4 cores. This is also a low power SOC, but with quite a lot better performance than Atom and more/better integrated interfaces.

See:

I have a system with one of these motherboards on order but have not yet heard about specific issues with OmniOS except that the 10Gb-E interfaces will not be supported right away, and there was mention of "weirdness with asy port" with early hardware on an Illumos list. Hopefully I will have news within the next two weeks.
