If your just going to use it for a fileserver I have a SM X5DAE w/2-2400/512/533's and 2-1 gig PC2100 ECC REG that should take care of your needs..
It's yours if you want it..
No, I re-seated the battery many times.

If I don't overclock this thing I could run it without battery since my OS startup sets the time via NTP every time anyway. But come on, how hard can it be? I'm so stupid, I noticed this when I received the board but didn't think this would be an issue once this thing goes "live".

The problem with getting a new board is that I have tons of unreg DDR that want to be used, and more dual-core 939 Opterons than I need (hey some clocked well ). But I might consider your combo anyway.
