Can U recommend any Mobo for Upgrades?

[Guest]

Hi,

I guessed this may not relate directly to this NG; however, please bear with
me. Currently, my Win2k3 Corp Ed server is running on a rather old AMD
K6-2/400MHz computer and I believe it is the time to upgrade the computer. I
am thinking of going into the 64-bit world and my choice of CPU is AMD
64-bit (unless you can convince me other wise). I live in one of the
sub-urbun city in the N.E of Atlanta, GA, and there is a computer store
local to my place called Globus Computer. Unless U can convince me
otherwise, I would believe this Globus Computer store does have a great
price for the mobo I intend to purchase to replace the old computer for my
Win2k3 Corp Ed server. My current mobo choice can be seen on the Globus
Computer website and its link is shown here:

Having said that, can you think of anything that I should not get this mobo
and recommend a better one? My main concerns are price, performance of the
mobo and its future expansion.

Thank you.

Hi Mazi,

I am afraid that I cannot give you too much suggestion on this topic. Just
a little reminder that Windows 2003 Server 32-bit version cannot be
installed on 64-bit server, you need Windows 2003 Server 64-bit version.

Have a nice day!

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

There is one more suggestion. Before you purchase the computer from Globus
Computer, please visit Windows Server Catalog
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/catalog/server/), and choose Hardware tab
to see if these hardware are compatible with Windows 2003 server.

Have a nice day!
