parity. x36 modules have 9 or 3 physical chips. (I've seen 5, but 95% are 9) x32 are non-parity. they have an even number, usually 8. some boards are parity only, but most don't care. it maybe your board cares.

if the caps are all about to blow, replace the board. if its a real nice board you like, then you can re-cap it. just make sure the uF rating is the same, voltage doesn't matter. NOT true. if you put a 6.3v cap in a place where it will see 12v. you might as well put firecrackers on your motherboard …

day-um! nice score vets. I like the 5000 series vards. I have a single 5870. I'm willing to bet you can flash those cards to 5870 speeds and have a kickass system.

I'm sad because I wanted that board. My personal cutoff was $100. I'm sad because that jerkoff with the $450 Tyan one now thinks he has a shot. I'm sad because if I had a SDS2 i would have sold it for 350. 😢

I once used a dual tualatin board as my home server. I sold it because I thought I would never need it. Finally one comes to ebay and look how much it sells for: http://www.ebay.com/itm/360492640866 $325. I'm so sad right now.

Ebay "pc104" Before ther was ITX there was pc104. pc104 died out with the pentium for the most part. however I have a pentium 3 SBC that supports it so it stuck around for a LONG time. That said, most pc014 stuff is under "business & industrial" on ebay
