Should work out of the box. I use a SiS chipset in my server as well. Maybe your LAN chip will not be reconized out of hte box but I think it will. There's just one way to find out ;) And I'm not sure what you want to do with it, but if you want to make it a server a 3.2 Ghz is way too much processing power. I have a 2Ghz with 400 MHz FSB and it's still "too fast". Jorn.
