For a server, I'd go with Tyan. These boards aren't designed for overclocking, just solid and reliable.

That, and also get an opteron instead of the x2. Opty's are meant for server use, and you might want to use the socket 940. Don't realy know what kind of difference it will make, but it is mainly used for servers.

Tyan board definetly for a server, had a few, they are increadably good and reliable, even the oldest one i have thats for dual pentium pro's is still working fine, really slow, but still works

likewise with the opty's - designed for servers and are all around good procs
