Due to a reshuffle of my computers at home I am thinking of redoing my Windows Server 2003 box. The hardware left over will be going to either family or the MM.
At the present time it has:
Gigabyte 8VM800M-RZ socket 478 mATX motherboard.
Intel Prescott 3.0 CPU
1gig of Elixir PC2700 RAM
Onboard Unichrome Pro Graphics
Onboard 10/100 NIC (have a D-Link Gigabyte card, but I think it is causing problems)
Tagan 480 PSU
XFX RAID3 PCI card with 3x40G SATA drives as boot drive
Promise SX4000 with 256 EEC RAM and 4 200G WD PATA drives for storage
House in a beautiful Coolermaster SX4000 case
Over the next week or so I will have the follow motherboards, RAM and processors available to put into the machine if there would be a stablity or speed benefit.
The xtra hardware is:
ABIT IC7-MAX3 s478
Intel 3.2g Northwood
Antec 550W TrueControl
Asus 9800XT
Corsair 2x512MB ch-5 RAM
MSi Neo2-Plat s939
Opteron 146 (runs at 2.8 on stock volts on air)
A64 3500 Newcastle
OCZ 2x512 bh-5 RAM
My thought is to go for the Opteron if the MSI will run at 280 HTT or near it and then use a divider to run both sets of RAM at as near PC3200 as possible - I would then have to use the ASUS 9800XT as well as there is no onboard grf, although it would prob be better to sell it and buy dirt cheap AGP card.
