Looking at updating my aging a7n8x server which BSOD's almost daily. May just
need a new PSU which is very old.
Fry's add today shows a E8500 with a intel G31 MB for $220
Looks like might do me just fine. Do need to update ram and PSU. IF Vista refuses to play with the HW change

just the server.

If the ram you have id ddr2 then it will work otherwise you have to get new
ram. Also a quality power supply is critical. I suggest get the lowest
wattage corsair or zalman and you are good to go.

Forc5,
I do understand. Was I looking for a new kit AND I had the spare $220, I might
just bite on this.
I fear I have to now focus any spare dollars to possibly a pair of updated
nVidia cards, and some busted (freeze breaks) cpvc pipes in my laundry
room. :)
