RE: HA server mainboard recommendations?

["Paul Gordon" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Paul.

I'm currently looking at the MSI ones as well, (965P & 975PE) as these
were both well reviewed by THG. The 975 only has 2 PCI slots though,
which is the absolute minimum I require, so doesn't leave much (any!)
scope for changing things around, which is a concern...

I'll take a look at the PSDBA as well now...

Cheers.

Paul G.
