I should have mention that at work we are only allowed to use RHEL3 and Centos3 for now due to our scripts and third party software we need. But back to being on topic regarding that motherboard.....I am really interested to see if people are already using that board in servers. What limitations have you seen? Performance is important to me but stability is the most important.
Juan,
You can look at 3ware's list of compatible motherboards.
All I can do is reiterate my experience with a 3ware 9500 and a motherboard with a VIA chipset. The two don't play well together. I switched to a Supermicro with an entirely Intel chipset (earlier rendition of the one it looks like you're looking at), and have had no downtime since.
Shawn,
Can you please tell us which VIA chipset? I know some from the Apollo line were horrendous since they had PCI latency issues.
Thanks.
