No new boards use PC-133 memory that I know of. But 3 gigs of new memory are *relatively* inexpensive. If the raid cards are PCI, they should still be usable. The case might be usable, if you can find EATX motherboard. IMHO a server is too critical a piece of hardware to re-use parts unless it is a spare or secondary backup point. By the specs, that server has probably already served for 5 years or more. If you are willing to use refurbished parts you can look here; http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=G7ESZ-WB-R&cat=MBB Or if your budget can go higher http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=SE7501BR2-KIT-R&cat=MBB http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=SE7501CW2-K2&cat=MBB -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
