reccomendation on motherboard
Hi,

I need a reccomendation on a good quality, cheapish motherboard with onboard raid (preferably raid 5). I don't mind if its onboard SATA or PATA, PATA preferred though. Needs to have onboard network and onboard graphics and take an Athlon XP 1900+ processor. Also needs to take normal DDR ram.

This is just for a small file server so other than that it isn't too important.

If you could possibly suggest a good but cheap () PCI RAID card that supports RAID5 that would also be nice.

I'm looking to run Fedora RC3 on it too if that helps and I don't mind having an extra boot drive if needed.

I think that this would come the closest to what you want. I can't find on with RAID 5 built in though.

yeah. raid 5 is pretty important as that's my main upgrade to my server (just got 2 more hdds, so I now have 4x 200Gbs). ATM I just have 2 older ones running RAID1. The new ones are pretty much the same so I want to put them into my server and upgrade the mobo too.

RAID 0+1 is really a waste of 2 drives, with RAID 5 I really only 'waste' 1.

I will look into a PCI card, but I can't find any good priced ones
