Gino, How many ports? What have you found for PCIe ethernet? A quick look at Newegg for 4 ports only shows Intel, at $400. So the ethernet card costs more than the server.
If you stick with PCI (other Atom motherboards) you can use the cheaper Mikrotik 4port gigE (~$90). Total build cost might be less. -John On Jul 28, 2009, at 5:44 PM, Gino Villarini wrote: > Well we are looking for a gig capable router - rackmountable > > Sent from my Motorola Startac... > > > On Jul 28, 2009, at 5:21 PM, "John Valenti" <vale...@lir.msu.edu> > wrote: > >> Gino, >> >> I'm not so sure about this .... if it is going in a rack, seems like >> it might be worthwhile to get a higher performance CPU with more max >> RAM (& VMware). >> >> And for a box at the base of a tower, seems big and hungry (200W AC >> power supply). >> >> Could you compare it to: >> http://www.mini-box.com/Intel-D945GSEJT-Mini-ITX-Motherboard?sc=8&category=1178 >> Apart from being single core and out of stock, this one takes 12V >> power.
