October 18, 201015 yr My Abit AB9 Pro died and I am looking to replace it with a Super Micro C2SEE http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182162 I have OCZ2P800R22GK PC2 6400 DDR2 Ram that I am pulling from the bad MB and I want to reuse this memory and not have to by differnet memory. http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_6400_platinum_revision_2_dual_channel I am not sure if this memory will work in the C2SEE, does anyone know? If not, what is a good second option on a board? I need a cheep board for now. I do have a ATI Rage 8MB PCI Video Card (and would use it only if I did not have video onboard the new MB) I need ATX and Intel LGA 775 (so I can reuse the CPU I currently have 6 SATA hard drives I think my next choice will be a Asus P5B-E MB Thanks for any suggestions.

It is DDR3 only for the C2SEE. Your old memory will not work. The Supermicro C2SEE manual says: Up to 4GB of un-buffered non-ecc DDR3@1333/1066/800 memory for single channel or dual channel interleaved mode in two DIMM sockets. From what I've read, the C2SEE is very picky about the specific memory used. Strongly suggest you use one of the brands/models from the suggested list. Joe L.

If I did not already have memory and a cpu, I would go a different direction but I have to get something that is compatible with my current parts, so I think I will go with the Asus P5B-VM DO. Thanks again.

Asus P5B are older and you probably wont be able to find any new one in stock anywhere (and the price can be higher as it was an expensive board for its time). You can try Ebay but you will get used (and you do not know how abused) motherboard. Any recent motherboard based on the Intel chipset should work without problems (you just need to pay attention to the onboard Gigabit LAN chip as some of them may not be compatible) If you insist on Asus p5 something I think this one will be OK - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131401 but you can find cheaper (US$50-60) especially if you can use your existing PCI video card - something like this one - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157175 And for SM with DDR2 - this one for $ 168 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182151 . Still no guarantee it will let you use your existing memory.
October 18, 201015 yr I believe a Foxconn P41A-G would work with your CPU and uses a Realtek chipset. Check memory compatability. Note: Only 4 SATA connectors http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186192 http://www.foxconnchannel.com/product/Motherboards/detail_spec.aspx?ID=en-us0000482# Comparison P5 vs. P41 Used succesfully here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=6066.msg66171#msg66171

Still no guarantee it will let you use your existing memory. One of the boards you gave a link to was for a ASUS P5QL-VM DO/CSM have you used this board with Unraid? Does it have HPA? The other board you mentioned is the ASRock P43DE. Have you used this with Unraid? I did not see either of these on the wiki compatibility list, so i did not look at them at all, but if people are using them successfully maybe I should have a look at them.

I wish it had a least one more SATA. I did not see this on the Compatibility list, but see by the link you provided that it is being used successfully for unraid. I like the price of the boards you guys are showing me also. I also like that (as bcbgboy13 pointed out) I can actually purchase one new and not have to purchase a used and abused P5B-VM DO
October 18, 201015 yr I wish it had a least one more SATA. You may be able to use the SIL3132 PCI-Express Card http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10407&cs_id=1040702&p_id=2530&seq=1&format=2
