The S288x series of boards are/were great. Probably because all of the |
| 7 |
hyper-transport connected components are from the same vendor (AMD). I'd |
| 8 |
still consider this series if you can live without PCI-e. Unfortunately |
| 9 |
there are all sort of compatibility problems between PCI-X cards and |
| 10 |
chipsets. Compatibility issues are what prompted my move to boards with |
| 11 |
an NVidia PCI-e implementation. |
