Wow a Server board? I'm using it as a PC. Thanks for the info. I think it'd be better for me to just buy a new board and processor.

Yep, these were used in workstations as well because they were so utterly reliable.

That's interesting. Well, I am thinking about getting a new board and processor. I wanna get an AMD 64. I just gotta find a motherboard w/ SCSI support for one of my hard drives.

Hmm that's going to be another server board then. Or you'll have to look into a seperate SCSI card. Onboard SCSI generally only found on server boards.

Ok, I found a PCI SCSI card online, but would my SCSI hard drive run as fast through a PCI card? I don't know, but I think it'd run faster if the SCSI was on the motherboard.
