1st link got me the generic server board page, nothing specific, my
misfire ? I *am* looking at Opteron, & found the K8T800 board on a price
basis alone. Tyan makes a S939 board, NewEgg got 'em for ~$195.00 last I
looked. I *don't* need the I/O just now, just good RAM/CPU/reliability ....

P.S. William -- you're not going to believe this, but I wrote this and
was just about to send and just realized you posted it. I honestly
wrote it _before_ I noticed it was you.
P.P.S. Lay off the desktop chipsets -- seriously. I'll loan you an

There are also various options with PCIe x4 and x8 slots (with or
without PCI-X) for storage (in case your storage is a PCIe x4 or x8
card) for both single Socket-478/LGA-775 as well as Socket-939.
