Actually, if I owned one of these, I'd use it at work in place of my 2500+, and bring my 2500+ home to be my gaming system. How sick is that?
As it is, my best system is at work:
2500+ rig I always did like having my own tools. They're a non-profit, so they probably would have a hard time spending this kind of money anyway.
I would like 64-bit PCI though. If we migrate to gigabit Ethernet, that's enough to swamp a 32-bit 33MHz PCI bus right there (theoretically), and if the NIC has to arm-wrestle a SCSI card for bandwidth...? Sub-optimal, at least in theory. nForce3 Professional 250 will have gbE in the southbridge, leaving the PCI bus free for SCSI, but that's still a bit of a mismatch if someone's doing fairly heavy data transfer to & from the SCSI bus via a mere 120Mb/sec (actual) PCI bus. Close enough for me, though... if a single-processor nF3 Pro 250 board appears for around $250... :Q
