New Server Motherboard - Advice Please

[Guest jerryyang_la1@yahoo.com]

My server died yesterday so I'm going to build a new one !!

 

As this is just for internal testing I want to keep the cost down.

Can you please advise if this board will work OK ??

I want to make sure the OnBoard VGA, LAN, SATA, PATA etc will work.

 

Thanks for your time.

Well, you probably need to provide more details.

 

WHAT server are you planning on installing?

 

Are you attempting to load from scratch, or do you intend to try recovering

your original install?

 

As far as I know, the XP drivers all work in 2k3r2 so from that standpoint

you shouldn't have any issues.

Sorry I should have said..

 

I'll be installing Windows 2003 Server as a fresh install.

Doing a recovery or repair never seems to work as well.

If I can I may install 2008 Server.. But I'm happy enough with 2003.

 

As long as I can use the XP drivers than I should be OK !!

The board has SATA and I have a new 320GB SATA Drive so I want to use

that, as long as 2003 will work with it !

 

Thanks for any advice you can offer...
