Well I'm not sure what else to tell ya, I'm fine with a Sempron. I was hoping for onboard Raid 5. A raid card is fine, I'm completely lost on what brands are out there tho. Is there a reliablitly issue with onboard raid 5?ktwebb said:If this is just a file server then the processor isn't all that important. Any P4 or Contemporary AMD processor is plenty for a 2-3 person LAN file server. Are you looking for answers to questions about product names? Like what RAID card to use or what. Post is pretty vague.

I would get a reliable motherboard, and get an add in RAID card. I have a couple of Promise boards and they work great. Cost around $270 each for a 4 port version with onboard cache. One is in my Media server.
