Hi there,
has anyone managed to install windows 2008 server r2 or any other windows OS?
thank you.
I gave up. But I really want to get Windows on it. Yes, I know, that's not very nerdy of me, and it is more nerdy to have linux on it, but I'm worthless with linux and I can't wrap my head around it.

I think I have one if you want one. Cost of shipping only and some patience for me to mail it since the PO is usually closed by the time I get off work, so Saturdays are really my only chance to ship stuff via USPS. Or I can ship fedex during the week but for a small vid card that costs more.

i haven't seen a non-pci nvidia card work yet, not saying it's impossible but that x550 should work. Either way we'll be here to help you

My board has bios dated from 11/26/2007 , version 0.9.6.ec
Name ARGo -AR11
could you tell us what your mobo is running on so we could figure out the most recent bios?
I could grab a bios image for others to use.
please contribute.
Once I get video, I'll get that BIOS revision. Unless its on a label that I'm not seeing this morning. I had your list when I went shopping last night for a video card actually! LOL. I saw a 9800GT but it was $125 and I thought that was too much for a server. Plus I don't want any more power requirements than a bare minimum. Do you have a link for the most recent BIOS update? That way I can make sure I update right away. Hopefully have the most stable BIOS available.
Thanks again, team!
How would you grab a bios image let alone flash the bios on this board? I mean, if we could figure out how to flash it, I'm sure somebody could add full ACPI support to it. Someone did to another Arima board a while back (saw it on another forum).

Oh man full acpi support would be so awesome

I'm pretty sure flashrom should be able to grab and flash images on this board...
anyone got some extra ram for these boards they don't need/want?

Flashrom will get the job done.Also i have found some forumers in mydigitallife community.
But our primal task is to figure out if there is a newer bios than the one is in my board.
please uses sysinfo or get into the bios to see the revision and report back.
got a question about this, can someone pm me or post the exact hardware it has on board (ethernet, sound etc) also wanted to ask is the ppd listed there for 1 cpu? or for a board with 4 cpu's?

BTW that girl is my version of muddflap on my stacy common artwork not obcene (for the censors out there)
here's my bios info:
BIOS VERSION: Argo 1.0.4-EC x64
Build Date: 03/03/2008
Core Version: 4:6.1
SCSI Storage controller: Marvell 88SX7042
Ethernet: Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5754
nVidia MCP55
I don't know if this board has a sound card.. Linux didn't pick one up anyways.
My board with four 8347's averages in the 30,000's WCG points per day.

So hmmm your telling me that 4 of these processors compare to one i7
And you can't push the fsb on this board to oc
well I wonder if using the HE processors you could at least match a 980x at stock speed :S well it is definitely a cheaper alternative but I dunno.
I wish there was a lga 1366 quad processor board (oc'able would be a bonus) max I can get from intel right now is a sp2 board, but that board is only dual socket

The advantage of this platform is the startup cost is lower than i7
