Nelis,

I've got a SuperMicro 6023P-8R on the way, as well as some Kingston PC2100
memory and two 2.4Ghz Xeons.  This uses the X5DP8 motherboard.

Also, I'll be using an Adaptec 2200S Ultra360 RAID card instead of the
available zero-slot RAID for the motherboard, on the recommendation of
Adaptec.

I'll hopefully be letting the list know how this works out in a few weeks.


...david
