Make sure you get the Barton rather then the Northwood chip (meant to be significantly better).So far I'm having good luck with the motherboard & chip, plenty of Barton 2500+ running around. But seems to be a gap and then you find 2800+ and 3000+ versions. At those prices I'll probably just stick with the 2500.
The big problem is picking memory. I want run a min of 1 GB of some decently reliable silicon and get that dual channel benefit. CAS 2, heat spreaders, fun stuff!
Know anybody who's run GeIL memory? What memory are you putting in your servers these days? The last memory I bought was Samsung.
