    Does anyone have experience with an ECS C19-A SLI motherboard? I've read a bunch of good reviews...

    I purchased an 805 Smithfield from Newegg, and I need a motherboard to go along with it (my P5AD2 Premium doesn't support it, stupid Intel). I have 4 sticks of 512MB Corsair DDR-675, so I think I'm set there. I want to build a server system (it's going to be watercooled, of course) mainly for PVR duties on my TV, and backups. Maybe the occasional bits of emulated gaming, too. Thoughts, anyone?

    Thanks,
    Sherk :rock:

    Surely there's a BIOS flash to enable Dual Core 775's?

    Nah, Intel didn't really make it possible to have dual core on the 915 and 925 series boards. It works on the 865-875's, and 945 and later... They didn't want Xeon boards made from cheaper chipsets, from what I've read.

    It shouldnt work on 865/875, it's pre-pre dual core. Anything 945/955/975 is DC enabled iirc.
