It should serve you well. Note that 4GB is going to cost you about US$6k to put into that board (1GB DIMMs being what they are). You might want to consider the Tyan S2500, which has 8 DIMM sockets. Whilst the board is larger and more expensive, it's somewhat offset by the ~$1200 saving in memory cost. > I'll be building some pretty heavy-duty servers in about a month and am > considering the Asus CUR-DLS.
