May 28, 201214 yr I have a LGA775 motherboard that is only pci-e 1.1. I'd like to go for a pci-e generation 2 board. I have 2 x 1gb DDR2 667MHZ modules along with a core2duo 2.66ghz processor (that doesn't support virtualization). I'd like a motherboard with onboard 1 gigabit ethernet as well if possible (or I could use my existing intel pci-e 1 gigabit ethernet card) 6 sata ports would be nice but 4 would work. It also should be able to support a IBM BR10i and M1015. There must be a board that can do all this and is favored by others here for unRaid usage? Thanks!
May 28, 201214 yr Author Oh, the board can be used or new, doesn't matter. It needs to be less than $100.
May 29, 201214 yr Author This sure looks like it would be a nice motherboard replacement for my 667mhz RAM and core2duo proc: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/xeon3000/3010/pdsmu.cfm (I recognize the .cfm file extension on this web page.. Cold Fusion--used to develop dynamic web sites with it like 14 years ago wow.. getting old!) Just wondering if I could squeeze it in a full size atx case somehow. two pci-e x8 slots and one pci-e x4 slot /drool.
May 29, 201214 yr Interesting board, but only 4 SATA ports. I recommended some LGA775 boards in this thread that might work for you.
May 30, 201214 yr Author Interesting board, but only 4 SATA ports. I recommended some LGA775 boards in this thread that might work for you. Someone is selling this board on ebay for $30 + $15 shipping is why I asked. $45 versus like $100 or more for the other one.
May 30, 201214 yr They state (and the board looks like) the form factor is proprietary, which usually means it's designed for a specific case type (in this case, it looks like specific rack mounted Supermicro cases.) Personally, I wouldn't take the gamble.
