if you need this for a server - yes. I think I bought earlier this year this same mainboard I'm not very happy with intel graphic chipsets but for the price it's not bad. I'm using it for a server I have at home and I thought I could use also as a workstation, but there was some delay in rendering graphics (when watching video or tv. The board itself had a really stupid bios, because it could not recognize and remember all of the drives I attached to the board (look for info on that if other people have the issue). As it's server I can live with that but when rebooting I need to try several time (going to the bios and checking if there are all the drives recognized and listed) regardding the video I had following situation. The machine stopped suddenly and didn't come back until next day. The next day it booted (almost normally - see above). Since then I'm not trying to use it as a workstation and it never happened again, so my suspicion is that it overheated somewhere in the graphics part and had to cool down over night. Also it came out recently that intel was selling bundled sh*t to pc manufacturers, causing disadvantage to competitors and they were sued (don't remember if the EU or in the US - I think it was the EU) Just be careful! regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
