For the server would you want to give Intel 975X boards a try?
Those support ECC ram: a big plus imho considering the amount of
ram in the servers these days. That's what I should've got,
but I was tempted by the fully supported onboard graphics for g965: not
an issue for you.
Just curious, if you want a server why won't you go the Xeon/fbdimm
route?
Btw, how do fbdimm modules look like?
This is a compute server, I'll be running Verilog simulations on it. For
that purpose two cores in one system are enough. Intel made a terrible
mistake by using FBDIMMs in their servers, the latency of FB DIMMs is
terrible. The only advantage of FB DIMMs is that you can put more RAM in
one system, however a Core2 Duo box can hold 8G which is more than enough
for my purposes. In fact I really only need 4G at the moment so that's
what I'm planning on getting. A year from now, when 2G DIMMs are cheaper,
I'll upgrade the memory to 6G or 8G.
