Will this setup run correctly?
November 6, 201312 yr It'll work fine. However ... I'd make 2 changes: (a) Buy 2 of the memory modules for a total of 4GB (b) If you think there's any chance you'll ultimately want to virtualize your server, go with a Xeon instead of the Pentium. But it will work fine as is if you are certain it's simply going to be a bare metal file server.

Is too bad ASRock didn't have a supported ram list for this board.
November 6, 201312 yr With 4GB you'll have an excellent system with that board. Note that not all Pentiums support ECC, but the G3220 is one that does, so it's an excellent choice. Should be a VERY reliable setup that will last a long time.

I'll file that little tidbit away for future builds. Well placed the order using shoprunner 2-day shipping hopefully it will get her Friday so I can put it together and start stress testing before I start mid nights Friday night.
November 6, 201312 yr Hello, Other configuration is good but i think you should extend ram up to 4GB because of getting more speed and space...
