I've watched dozens of motherboard combos being sold at Fry's and
asked about the return rate. The salesman told me about 10% come back
and they find about half of those run perfectly.
My point is that I'd find it difficult to choose anything for a
church other than whats on sale at Fry's or your favorite online
store. Fry's has dirt cheap ECS combos that include the 8KTA3 ver 8.0
, K7S5A Pro ver 5.0 and the L7S7A.
Take the money you save by not going with the 64 and buy a good ups
and external backup system.
