Thanks - that's great info!  The other links are the ones I've read already.

This is not for any serious server work - just a box at home with lots 
of disc space.  At my old job we've used Gigabyte K8VM800M boards for 
entrylevel servers and they have always performed well and reliably, so 
I'll see if I can get hold of one of those.

Thanks
