[QUOTE="elsmandino, post: 730432, member: 111675"] Hi there, I don't mean to hijack this thread or anything, but I note that some of you are using similar CPU that I have a query over. I currently have a Athlon IIx2 240e on a m-ATX Asus motherboard in my Antec NSK2480 in my living room - the computer is acting as both server and client for mediaportal. What I want to do is build a very small separate client computer for the living room and a dedicated server. I also have an old P4 as my main computer that needs replacing. I don't want to buy anything unnecessary and was thinking, originally, that I should use my HTPC computer as the replacement for the old P4 and build a new server from scratch, based upon a full-ATX board and a Core-i3 2100T chip. However, you appear to be quite keen here on the 240e for your server. Would it perhaps be better to buy a new AMD ATX motherboard and put the 240e in there and then use the m-ATX for my main computer and put a new more powerful AMD chip in there instead? [/QUOTE]
