Hey all!

I was looking around for a dual Xeon board to upgrade to that would support PCI-E AND PCI-X, and I ran into this motherboard. Anyone have any experience with it?

The only reason I ask is that it seems to claim ONLY to support the noncona (sp?) CPUs, and not older ones. I currently have 2.8 Ghz/533 Xeons. It woudln't do me any good if I had to replace my CPUs too.

In any case, just wanted to see if anyone knew anything about it, how well it overclocks, etc.

We don't have nearly enough server freaks here, ask that question here and you will likely get a good answer faster :) I'm preparing for my first venture into the server world so I've been hitting that site up but hard lately.

I HAVE posted it there. I just wanted to ask here too in case more traffic comes through this way. ;)

It's funny that the responses are to direct me there, though.

As stated there just aren't many server folk here. It is mostly the desktop crowd and n00bs. Hardcore overclockers, workstation/low-end server, and big iron folk frequent more focused sites I imagine.
