[geeks] Dell T105 server upgrade

[Lionel Peterson]

Hello all,

I just performed the CPU upgrade for my T105 to a quad core, Opteron  
1356, and am now enjoying better than $135 worth of performance  
increase - a very nice bump in performance, I must say..

The question now on the table is what to do with my (now) surplus  
Opteron 1210 CPU? Anyone have any pointers to a good, cheap MB that  
can use this chip? Ideally, I'd like an MB without an unusual nVidia  
chipset, and something "server-ish" would be great (dual NIC, more  
than 4 GB RAM supported) - I am outside my depth with AMD chips and  
MBs, so I'm looking for pointers...

Otherwise I'll just flip through NewEgg looking at AM2 socket MBs, and  
hoping that the Opteron is supported, though it is seldom listed in  
the specifications.
