Yes.

4x256

No.  I don't recommend ECC for home users.  It's slower.

Corsair.

No.  I have a cheap POS sound card.  And it works GREAT.

GeForce 3.  Be adviced, it's simply a 4xAGP slot.  Not AGP Pro.

I run Windows 2000 Advanced Server.  And I have had _ZERO_ issues running this
OS, or any programs thus far.  (Linux is on another computer.)

lap?  I don't understand.  If you mean O/C, get it out of your head.  Almost no
way to do it with the dual mobo.

No.  Because this is for the SCSI and LAN Tiger MP boards.  The Tiger MP S2460
does not have an upgraded BIOS, but it might soon.  I am unsure.

Yes.  There are _VERY_ few options you can change.

It is 100% stable @ 4x.  The entire computer is stable as a computer can be.

Nope.  Should be fine.  (It was in my computer case.  As long as you have an ATX
mobo and an ATX v2.03 300W+ power supply, you'll be fine.)

Yes.

Yes.  SP2.  Just for security reasons.  There were some pretty bad hacks in 2k
server.
