im almost ready to buy this, but one question, does anybody know how reliable the i820 mobo is?

 

[Dameon]

Train the VC820 is a friggin rock. Pretty much every dedicated Intel motherboard I ever worked with has one main feature:

Stable as a block of marble.

Which is why OEM's love the boogers.

Bad part:
No overclocking. Ever.
BIOS leaves much to be desired for the tweaker population... but it's simple.
Good for a home server box. I have w2k adv server on mine.

ya for some reason i have been not been able to connect since i posted this, i figured it was my proxy at work. guess not.

TigerDirect.com is a good company, usually thier prices are a bit higher, which is why this one is a big surprise to me, but lately they have had some really great deals, maybe its causing them to get higher traffic
