Hi, You should really consider Anders advice.
If your MB/CPU are in good condition, and your RAM is enough, your should consider only increasing the number of disks ( should upgrade to SATA ) and build your system on a soft RAID device. The HD will serve you on a future upgrade but, if you need to acquire RAM, then you should put your money in a new machine. Currently I own a P4 1.7 and I'm not considering upgrading... It has SuSE9.3 with 512MB of RAM and 4-40GB HD with a soft RAID-5. I use it for apache, mysql, subversion, mail-server, firewall, ntp, dhcp, router, Samba PDC, bind, ftp-server, cups server, hylafax, Xvnc for azureus with java and BOINC 24/7. But, since you wanted an advice on a motherboard, pick either a chipset with sava-nv out Intel WITH (WITH) AHCI. Also go for a PCI Express board instead of an PCI/AGP one.
