Older i5 work OK?

I have an older Lynnfield i5-750 that isn't being used. I was thinking that I would get a mobo and use it for the Sophos box.

I know it's older tech, but it should be alright, yes? I've been reading about how some of the processes like higher clock speeds. Would I be better served getting something with more MHZ, like a Pentium Anniversary edition and OCing it to 4.0 MHZ?

Thanks for the hard drive link! I should probably check my desk, I bet I have one sitting in there that can be used.

Here's another question. Do you think it matters if I use a server class motherboard with ECC RAM, or any off the shelf enthusiast class board with regular RAM?
