Mobo w/ Integrated scsi

[Crusty]

I'm looking for a single processor, athlon or p4 mobo that has integrated scsi. I've been looking around and so far I haven't come up with any?

Anybody know of any mobos out there for me?

Well, Supermicro's P4SBR is for P4 with SCSI...but it uses SDRAM memory, it's designed for a 1U chassis... They have several P4 Xeon boards though that use DDR, if you wanted to pay for a Xeon. 🙂

Oooh, they also have the P4SGR. Uses the 845GE chipset, seems to be what you'd want.

Most of the time, anybody that needs SCSI on-board these days is looking for a more high-end board, which is why so few single-processor boards have it now. In the past, "workstations" would need SCSI for best performance, but still only need a single processor. Now, UltraATA drives let "workstation" class boards perform without SCSI, so mostly "server" class with multiple processors has any need for it. You may have been looking for a "desktop" board, but you need to look at the "workstation" and "server" boards to find anything with SCSI.


MSI also has the 845E Master-LR board (MSI-9129), but that doesn't have an AGP slot. Also the 845 Master-LR, just without 533MHz FSB support.

I think i'm gonna end up with the P4SGR. Anybody have this board, or have used it? Is it reliable? How bout the company?...i haven't heard much of them

Thanks for the help.

EDIT: EEEK! didn't look at the prices....price watch has it for approx. $400....i'm gonna have to think about this one.

just get an lsi u160 add in card or something similar.that way you get to keep the card if something goes wrong with the mobo

check out www.hypermicro.com see whats available

after looking at the prices, i would too get an add in card
should something go wrong with mobo, atleast you still have the card and a mobo is relatively cheap to replace...

MSI K7Master-S is 89$ on new egg and has integrated SCSI. Runs AthlonXP processors. Has 2 DDR slots. Just plug in 2 512 meg sticks and a fast cheetah and an AthlonXP 2000+ and you'll have a damn nice system. I *strongly* reccomend this board as the AMD 761 chipset was one of the best *ever* made for the Athlon platform. Ultra stable. Probably more stable than a KT333/400. Very nice board.

P.S. Super Micro is one of the most reliable mothreboard brands in the USA.

The K7-Master-s is a nice board, it just depends on whether you want the various additional features present in more recent boards (USB2, better Integrated Audio, DDR400, Thermal Protection etc...)

Given the price of a half-decent addon board, I'd probably go for a separate solution rather than integrated.

exactly....
ive found it at http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.asp?edc=305345 for $348.00 ....

//edit
maybe he meant price watch
http://www.pricewatch.com/1/2/3059-5.htm its 4th down for $89

 

[FishTankX]

Oops, yeah. Was thinking pricewatch, typed new egg.. 🙁

Anyways, you can find it. 2 or 3 vendors sell it on pricewatch. That is a *damn* good price and beats some dedicated controllers. You can't go wrong with that board at that price, can you? Espically since it's an original AMD 761 chipset.

Yep, I allready ordered it! Plus an xp200+ and 512 of mushkin pc2100 High Performace ddr. My system shall be rockin pretty soon. I dont' plan on oc'ing so i didn't go for the faster ram. Thanks for the heads up. See ya around.
