[olug] Server Motherboard Recomendations.

[Phil Brutsche]

I've not used any recent 3ware cards and am unlikely to anytime soon. My
choice of hardware is driven by driver support for VMware ESXi, Windows
and Linux.

I have used these:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816103062

Notice how they all cost about the same. You will get about the same
results regardless of which one you choose.

Also notice that most of them will *not* work in desktop motherboards,
hence my comment as to most desktop motherboards being completely
unsuitable for server use.
