Comments:
Main board requires ATXGES power supply - VERY hard to get hold of. I had to modify a new ATX12V powersupply. Please note these connectors are the same as the ATXGES BUT DO NOT WORK.
If you consider a set up like this you will need a large case the mainboard is Extended ATX and is very large.
Its critial that AMD chipset drivers are installed youll get extreamly poor peformance otherwise.
ECC checking makes for a minute of 'dead' time at boot - this is normal, and registered ram is a must with this board. It will not take non reg ram. Make sure you have a meaty PSU as i get the impression seems to chew serious amounts of power.
Feel free to ask anything if interested!
