Since I have to replace my MB I was hoping to get some recommendations.  It should be able to support an i3 cpu and SuperMicro AOC-SASLP-MV8.  It can have either 4 or 6 sata ports onboard since I already have a 2 port sata card.  I don't mind spending up to $125. 

 

Any good recommendations?

Well, may not need this at all.  Seems like I had one bad memory module in my pc.  I'm now running on 512K ddr2 and everything seems to be working ok.  I guess I'll buy a 1gb or 2gb stick as I'm not sure 512K is enough.

I've got 2 1gb ddr2 1066 sticks laying around if you want to buy them.  I used them for about 4 months, and bought them brand new.

I think $35.00 is a good offer?

Thanks for the offer but I can get two corsair 1gb dd2 stix for $30 at my local store.  I'm just debating if I should buy 1gb or 2.  If I buy the 1gb stick it wouldn't be running in dual channel mode.  Not sure if that is a big deal since my server is only for storage of movies, music etc.  I don't do anything else with it.  Plus I was thinking of upgrading the mb, cpu etc some time next year so don't want to spend money on things that I'll eventually ditch.

Understandable.  I went with the two sticks of 1gb first.  Now, I've got 2 stick of 2gb for a total of 4gb of ram.  I was able to get them for $45 dollars new on ebay.  I don't really need it since I don't use any other application with my server, but it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

I would go for a single 2GB DDR2-800 as dual channel would be a negligable gain for unRAID. Under heavier load (if the PC were running Windows or doing something that was actually memory intensive) you might see, maybe 5% increase at the cost of an extra DIMM. A 2GB stick would be more useful to have lying around later on than 2x1GB would be
