I am pricing out a system that will end up being a Novell Server also running Oracle. Could someone please recommend a motherboard for my system? I am currently looking at either the Asus CUV4X-D or the Abit VP6. If anyone could tell me speciffic advantages or disadvantages that either board has that would be needed in a network such as this. BTW, I am looking at 768MB of PC133 Cas2 ECC memory from Crucial, Dual P3 1 Ghz, and 2 Western Digital 18.3 GB 160MB SCSI hard drives running in a RAID array (probably mirroring) with a promise controller card. Any help would be wonderful!

If the server is going to "serve" a business/commercial operation, I would not recommend either board, both of which use VIA chipsets. If your budget will allow it, I would definitely recommend a ServerWorks 133MHz chipset board (e.g., SuperMicro 370DLE, 370DL3, 370DE6, or 370DLR) for network reliability and scaleability.
