ASUS Intel 815E Chipset CUSL2-C - mainboard - ATX - i815EP

Advantages: Good server board
Disadvantages: Low amount of expandable memory slots

...Motherboards are expensive pieces of kit to buy nowadays compared to other components. Particularly when you consider the plummeting prices of other products on the market such as CD Writers, monitors and RAM. But when you are building a server to comply with the needs of a small office or gaming network at home, there really is only one choice. I have built 4 servers now with this motherboard, the Asustek FCPGA Intel 815e ATX V S L. The reasons for this I will explain. Servers work best with plenty of RAM, plenty of processor power and loads of disk space. Whereas the Motherboard does not provide any of these directly, it does provide a `meeting place` for all of this raw power to come together. For this, a motherboard needs to provide enough sockets and fittings to install all relevant components. This board has the lot... Read review

...I have just reviewed what in my opinion is the best available Socket A Duron/Athlon board in the ABIT KT7, so I thought it was only right for me to look at what in my opinion is one of the best S370 boards, for those wanting to go through the Intel route. This is a very impressive board both in specification and in performance. It is based around Intels slightly maligned but recently renewed 815e Solano 2 chipset. As you would expect for a new motherboard, this is in normal ATX format and supports all of the latest processors upto a certain extent which I will talk about in just a moment. It has a socket 370 format for your processor allowing you to choose any of Intel's PII/PIII/Celeron based on Coppermine technology although you should note that although this board is S370, I cannot comment whether it will be able to take the new...
