The server class boards I've seen all have Broadcom chips which puts them in the "better then something without a driver, but not much else" catagory. The MSI board we have works fine, but has serious problems PXE booting. Better then half the time it failes in such a way that it doesn't even make it to the automagic reboot partion on the disk. The other one is an Accelertech Tsunami64 which is more stable under some loads them some of our dual Xeons. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
