I just got 2 gigabyte dual socket 940 opteron server mobo's (NIB) for $200 cash yesterday! And I don't know just yet what to do with them...was thinking about starting a gameing server service or something but I know nothing about any of it! I would like some links, books or advice on how to start something like this. I'm a noob to servers ( yes I can build it ) but how to run them is another beast in itself.

This is the mobo's that I have

Wow, that's sweet man! Good job!

Set em up and use em for folding dude! :wink: :D

I'm not all that wholly familiar with AMDs server chips man. I'm sure someone from the AMD camp can help you out better than I can. Good luck with that setup! You've made me jealous! LOL

Looks like a very nice find...

Only question I have is.. what kind of internet connections do you have for that board?
