Hello list,<BR>
<BR>
I am currently must upgrade my soho server system. I want to switch to a current system.<BR>
The system would look like:<BR>
- ASUS M2N32 WS Professional NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP<BR>
North bridge NVIDIA C51XE<BR>
South bridge NVIDIA MCP55PXE<BR>
with NEC uPD720404 PCI-X for the old PCI-X cards<BR>
- 2x1024MB Kingston ValueRAM DDR2 533MHz PC2-4300 CL4 ECC<BR>
- AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ EE 2000MHz 2x512kB 65W Box AM2 F2-Stepping<BR>
- ATX be quiet!Titan BQT P6-pro-430 S2.2 (ATX & EATX)<BR>
<BR>
My question now has anyone experiences with the nforce 590 SLI MCP under dapper?<BR>
Further on, has anyone experiences with the PCI-X, south and northbridge chipset?<BR>
Is there any performance gain if I use 667/800 DDR2 ECC RAM?<BR>
<BR>
My server serves 3 OSes under it via VMware. ubuntu, as the host. 1x WinXP as guest for special windows server programs, and one additional "experimenting" linux. Usually ubuntu.<BR>
<BR>
I hope someone here can help me, because I have to switch urgently, due to the current system is now very unstable.<BR>
Therefore the ECC RAM.<BR>
<BR>
best regards
