Well, I prefer Intel... just was hoping to not spend the money. So... for a budget minded build. Whats a good "budget" motherboard that supports an i3, ECC RAM, and has 6+ SATA ports?
Edit: What about this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182251
Also, is dual core enough power for a FreeNAS setup? I plan to be streaming from the NAS and writing to it with up to four computers simultaneously. Obviously this will not be a standard load. But this would be the busiest it would be. As long as it can perform this task without issue, I'll be happy. I plan to add a Intel Quad NIC and have some LACP fun.
