It looks like that day has come. := -/ Or it might just be "normal" old-age, since I've had the board for ~4.5 yea= rs. Either way, I find myself in need of a new motherboard. My requirements are= : - 2C/4T amd64 (4C/8T preferred) - 2x DDR4 slots (4x preferred) - 6x SATA ports (8x preferred) - 2x 1GbE NICs - 1x 80mm M.2 slot (2x preferred, 110mm preferred) - 1x PCIe x8 slot (2x preferred) - BMC w/ dedicated NIC Suggestions?
