Can this be used as a destop?

Meaning...

1) Install Windows or Linspire
2) Use non ECC Ram
3) AGP Slot?
4) Profit


EDIT: This Deal Ends August 10th according to another website.
 
1) Install Windows or Linspire - sure can
2) Use non ECC Ram - no idea, but would like to know if someone can dig that up
3) AGP Slot? - no, but it has 3 64bit pci slots
4) Profit - you mean ebaying it? Go for it, but I doubt you will make too much.
 
I posted this on Monday -

It only has PCI-x slots -no agp or pci-e 16x

8 meg video
You can use regular DDR RAM
ITS A SERVER- not a desktop!

EDIT- Austin - you are too fast for me!
 
That's pretty damn cheap for a mobo with PCI-X + processor + RAM + case + PS. All you'd need is a couple of 500GB SATA drives, a sweet PCI-X RAID card, and you'd have a very nice home storage server for all your media needs. Hmmm.

Any idea how this thing would perform in that capacity? I'm thinking H264 streaming around the house.
 
I am looking for a cheap desktop and I dont do any gaming. Guess I could just get a good pci video card with DVI. Does anyone know if htere are issues in 2d with using a pci card. Dvd playback, etc.
 
Sweet. Then I am going to pull the trigger on this box, slap in a gig or cheap ddr and a decent PCI vid card and have cheap desktop.

it's just sitting on a shelf collecting dust atm.

hrmmm. the gf will kill me if I get another compy.


edit:

does this rig even have pci slots? I'm only seeing pci-x, a totally different animal.

some pci slots would actually come in handy on a rig like this
 
ahh forget it, I'd rather get a Venice 3700+ for around the same price.
 
I know the specs sheet sucks but if you go to the Product Tour you can zoom in on the mobo. The top slot (about 2" above the rest of them) is PCI, the rest support PCI-X. Also of note is that the top slot could use a dual slot card (if you can find one in PCI) because there is nothing taking up the next position.

Give it a look, it also says that it has "4 PCI slots (Three support PCI-X) for high bandwidth..."
 
Hows this...

9210 (so wish it was 90210)
CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) ($86.99)

SAPPHIRE RADEON 7000 64M PCI ($31.00)

But what about Audio? Can you mod a PCI-X slot to use a PCI sound card? Or video card?

Or seeing that there is onboard graphics sound could go to the lone PCI slot, but would the onboard video support 1680x1050 (need to use the VGA slot on my 2005fpw). And would it be terrible for just web browsing/text/video/mp3 collection?

PCI-X can use standard 32bit PCI cards. PCI-X is backwards compatible with PCI...

Do people really not already know that? Wow :eek:

Waaaiiiitt WHAT?!?! PCI-X, the short slots, are backward compatible with regular PCI? So if you have a PCI-X 1.0 slot that's VERY short, you can still stick a sound blaster Audigy 2 ZS in it and it'd work?!?!

... PCI-E is the short-name for PCI Express, not PCI-X. The short little ones are PCI-E 1x slots.

PCI-X has been around a LONG time primarily in the high-end workstation and server markets, it looks like an enlongated PCI slot and is usually backwards compatible.
 
Hah oops, seems like I got confused there, thanks for clearing that up.
