Supermicro Motherboard-Please Recommend

Please recommend a "hardware compatible" Supermicro server motherboard (Micro-ATX). I realize that a Dual Core Atom would be fast enough for my needs, but I would prefer "overkill" with a LGA 1155 Micro-ATX server motherboard.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi, there's an Asus micro-ATX with that CPU socket mentioned here:

There's a lot of SuperMicro's mentioned in that thread, but most are Atom CPUs.

Thanks.

The SuperMicro motherboard (X9SCM-F) that I am considering is mentioned there. However, it is listed for a previous version (ASL 8.305 on ESXi). Is it safe to assume that this motherboard will work with the latest version?

I am now leaning more toward the D525 Dual Core Intel Atom (SUPERMICRO MBD-X7SPE-HF-D525-O).

Do you think that the Dual Core D525 Intel Atom CPU with 4 GB of memory will have enough power for the following situation?:

1.  Both Antivirus Engines always on.
2.  Four (4) Users (4 PC's accessing the Web at the same time).
3.  Two (2) of the Users streaming video (non-HD video) at the same time.
4.  One (1) User sometimes downloading large files.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
it should be more than adequate, but what you haven't advised is what sort of external network connection you use?

Make sure you use an intel nic for the extra network card.
