heyy

 

I have a dell poweredge 500sc that i use as a server to pratice on. Am getting bored with so am plaining to change the motherboard and the CPU to i high spec as it currently has a 1.3gh CPU that is not that good. I am planing to use it as a pc /server and need advice on the motherboard Combo that i have seen on ebuyer

 

AMD Athlon 5200 Bundle Deal Including Asus M2N68-AM.. | Ebuyer.com

 

I think it will run windows 7???

 

I think it may fit in the case???

 

 

Thanks seedy21

In all honesty I wouldnt bother buying new.

 

If you are looking for a 'true' server then I use some of these 2U Rackmount SERVER Dual CPU AMD Opteron 250 2.4Ghz on eBay (end time 04-Aug-10 10:41:28 BST) and there is a BIOS update available for W7 or Server 2008

 

I have 3 at the moment, you DO need ECC RAM though, they come with 2x AMD Opteron 250 2.4GHz cores, well you can see the spec (these are the best ones on ebay as they have 4x SATA on the board)
