that motherboard has a few pricy components that aren't supported, or aren't supported well. (video, wireless) i think you can do better for less with this: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/ATOM/ICH9/X7SPA-H-D525.cfm it has better ethernet (intel 82574) and sm's mp tables are known good enough for us. here's the slightly slower version that i have used: http://www.acmemicro.com/ShowProduct.aspx?pid=7749 and the -D525 http://www.provantage.com/supermicro-mbd-x7spa-h-d525~7SUPM3FU.htm - erik
