Subject: Re: [9fans] Any dual or quad motherboard recommendations...

Message-ID: <20010827040514.78FCF19A35@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)

The last couple we bought were SuperMicro 370DLE dual PIII motherboards.
These use one of the Serverworks chipsets and have a couple of 64-bit/66MHz
PCI slots. They are reasonably cheap compared to some others. I believe
there is a version with on-board SCSI (probably Adaptec) and the integrated
ATA controller is not ATA/100, but for a cpu server those don't really
matter.

Quads are few and use Xeon processors and are not cheap. Our main cpu server
is still a 3 year old quad 400MHz Xeon system using the AMI Megaplex motherboard.
It cost ~$30K in 1998 with 2GB memory.
