Some main features I like:

Dual 10/100/1000Mbps - Can unRAID be configured to use both LAN adaptors?

I already have a 775 CPU and heatsink.  He is giving me his ECC memory and PSU since this board requires a 24 pin + 8 pin.  I plan on pairing it with 2 AOC-SASLP-MV8  cards.

 

Any forseen problems with compatibility?

 

TIA,

Does it support the Core2 / more modern CPUs?  Those P4 class CPUs ran very hot. This would be my main concern (assuming that the LAN and other chipsets are supported).

 

Only P4 and Pentium D.

 

I'm not too worried about that though since I have a big honking HS/Fan I can slap on it.

 

How do the chipsets look for compatibility?  OK?

 

Thanks,

 

John
