Anyone knows what's the best motherboard to use with the following:

- Single P3 processor support
- RAM support up to 1GB
- Built-in VGA
- Built-in LAN
- ATX form factor

Anyone?

Intel D815EEAL
Has everything you need, except only supports 512MB RAM.
Very reasonable priced, and VERY reliable.

As far as a board with 1GB RAM support...you are talking a higher end board...
For those systems, we don't get both onboard LAN & VID....just one...and PCI the other...

Don't buy anything but Intel, Asus, Tyan, & Abit for servers....we have seen SO MANY problems with any other manufacturer...even SuperMicro.

Speaking of, _never_ get a board with anything onboard, if you can help it. Obviously, if something goes wrong, very wrong, with a component that is built into the board, then you won't even have the option of bypassing it to use a card. It's a bad idea, especially on a server system. If such a thing happens, you have to be able to hunt down a compatiable board, instead of just a card, and that isn't something people should expose themselves to being possible on anything but a home system that's not direly important.

Hey All, I posted this in another section but got no response. Hey All,

I am looking to build a 4U server (actually for my house to store MP3s) and I am looking for a good, low cost motherboard.

Any suggestions? It needs to have good PCI speed as I will be using a RAID 5 PCI IDE Hardware card. Any Ideas?
