I use it in a desktop, but it still runs 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. The uptime has been around 90 days, before I twiddle the HW, update the software or a prolonged power outage gets to it. I have been pleased with the board, and I am using the ECC memory in it (2GB). Bruce -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I like bad!"
