the onboard SATA sockets so I could increase our available disk space
(4x500GB in RAID5 for data).

However, a nice benefit is that the Core2 will compile world in 1/4
the time, and user don't notice the server is 'busy'.

Core2 is actually only a bit faster per clock cycle than PIII, but you have 2 processors (cores) and much more cache and faster memory...

SO, to the original question, yes that motherboard will work just
fine.   What are you doing for system backups?  A single drive is not
enough.  I recommend a mirror pair at least, and suggest a second box

why? it's a backup system not main system.
