Motherboards

[MattF]

Just after some suggestions from the hardware chaps if I might.

What is a reliable, stable board, with preferably three standard PCI slots which is suitable for 24/7 server usage? Going to be running BSD too, so any type of Windoze certification ain't necessary. After something that ain't prone to either random, unexplained glitches, exploding/leaking caps and or phantom resets and the like, and uses well supported chipsets. Processor wise, not fussy. One that doesn't use any fans for the onboard bridge chips and suchlike too.


Cheers much.

I've been looking at boards for the last hour or two, and I'm still no closer to deciding what to go for yet, so thought I'd brainpick the peeps who work with the stuff on a regular basis. This is to be the replacement for the board in the webserver, so wanting something that ain't going to give me a nut crunch when I least expect it. It's already well in my bad books at the moment.

I want a Micro-ATX or smaller, which supports 1GHz up, with or without CPU, preferably for nowt, or at best, peanuts.

That ain't what I usually get accused of being. Does start with a C too, but bears no resemblance thereafter. (Or is the wench just trying to tell me something)?
