Supermicro PDSME+ / 3ware 9650

[Daniel O'Connor]

Hi,
I am looking for a new motherboard as the P8SCT only supports CPUs that 
are no longer made. The PDSME+ has the multitude of PCI slots we need 
and I am wondering if anyone has any experience with it?

I was thinking of pairing it with a 3ware 9650-2LP PCIe card - I note 
there  was a recent commit to add support for that which is good timing 
for us!

I plan on using the onboard video, does it work OK with X.Org? On the 
P8SCT I had to disable acceleration otherwise I would get video 
corruption. (The PDSME+ uses an ATI chip rather than i830 video though)

Any good or bad stories welcome :)

Thanks in advance.
