> Be careful about what kind of motherboard and RAM you buy in the future...
*nod* Wise advice. I thought I was careful, but obviously not careful enough. Precisely why I'm asking for recommendations for hardware that people have had good experiences with. :) > Motherboard chipset compatibility is also an issue with newer AMD64 stuff Yeah, and not many of the motherboards I'm looking at have PCI-X. Perhaps I'm limiting the field too much because of the SCSI card I'm looking at. I don't see any other U320 controllers on i386.html that aren't PCI-X. Anyone have a nice U320 controller they can recommend so I don't have to look for PCI-X on the motherboard?
