A new motherboard for those of us how like ECC and Micro ATX

Hi All,

This new motherboard from Supermicro seems sweet. Perfect
for those of us who like ECC memory and Micro ATX foot prints.
Even does RAID 5. Wonder what I would do with the PCI slot?
Maybe a Parallel port printer card.

1. Single socket H4 (LGA 1151) supports
Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 v5,
Intel® 6th Gen. Core™ i7/i5/i3 series

2. Intel® C236 chipset

3. Up to 64GB Unbuffered ECC/non-ECC
UDIMM DDR4 2133MHz; 4x DIMM slots

4. 1x PCI-E 3.0 x16, 1x PCI-E 3.0 x4,
and 1x 5V PCI 32-bit slots

5. Single GbE LAN with Intel® i210-AT
Single GbE LAN with Intel® i219LM

6. 8x SATA3 (6Gbps) via C236; RAID
0, 1, 5, 10 + 1 PCIe M.2 (PCIe x4,
2242/2260/2280/22110)

I have a letter into Supermicro asking them what a
"PCIe M.2" is.

I WANT ONE! Yes, I am 12 years old. (Well, I was once,
a very long, long time ago.)

Nice board, shame I'm not in the market for one

I have a PCI Express parallel port card here.
Which presumably supports all operating
modes. It seems to show up at the right I/O address
too, to keep stuff happy. It connects to my JTAG
programmer cable, and the program that runs that,
seems to think the Parallel Port is "conventional".

I bought it a few years ago, and the price
might have been a bit lower than that.

You can keep the PCI slot open for your old sound card.
You know, the card with the "gold connectors" on the faceplate.

Nothing to do with Windows 7, the subject of THIS newsgroup. There are
hardware newsgroups where you can post your catch of the day.

Hi Paul,

This board comes with sound!

I have had bad luck with two port PCIe parallel port
adapters, but Star Tech's one port ones seem fine.

Never had an trouble with PCI parallel port adapter.

Hi Vanguard,

I was writing to my eFriends and eColleagues (that includes you).
When that happens it becomes really difficult to stay "on topic".
Next time I will tag as "OT:".

And I bet W7 screams on this board! Well, until "Ask Tool Bar"
and friends have their way with your computer. :'(

How about this ATX one (without ECC) but you can get PCI-e carriers for
M.2 SSD's to put in it?

and for an M.2 SSD;

I really like to stick to ECC memory.

Here in the states, ASUS' server board support is really
good, but their consumer board support is terrible.
