critical, ud b far better off spending the little bit extra for a quality make server board, by some1 like intel or supermicro, a dead server 6 months down the line is no good for ne 1

cheap motherboards are fine these days really, we have one 9 months old that is still running on a £28 main board, and it runs well :)

Yeah - the price doesn't dictate quality these days. You can buy almost any priced mobo/component and it'll be as reliable as the rest :)

I had standardized on Tyan's Thunder LE (http://www.tyan.com/products/html/a_thunderle.html) back when we were building dual P3 boxes. These things are rock solid and you can often find them at surpluss outlets. I was getting them for $50 a piece and still have 8 of them running today. There's also a version of this board that now supports Tualatins.
