Casper,
I also currently have a 330 based Intel board, but might like to upgrade to a
less powerhungry board. And I currently have the disks via USB (the disks
themselves internally are all sata!) and like to put them into the
box. Throughput will enhance, and power-loss in many external PSUs will also
drop, making it way more efficient. So, speed of the board iteslef currently
is not that important!
Thanks for the hint with the DIMMs!
