I'm using one that I got from John to replace the defective board that came with an fnord server. It's running current dual 1G PIII, 2GB Ram, 1.6TB raid 10, NO PROBLEMS BUT NO PROBLEMS, great board. ed P.S. John Von Essen uses the board on the servers he builds and was kind enough to save my ass after I was ripped off on a server purchase from Fnord Systems in Bellingham, WA. (never buy from those guy's and believe anything that they say and especially don't expect ANY service like replacing a defective motherboard.) I would recommend looking at John's servers. That is where I'll look for my next one. He's proven himself to me.
