atx dual processor server motherboard

[gaf-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I have 5 Intel dual-processor whiteboxes, all with Supermicro
motherboards and most have been running for 5 years or so. These are not
ATX form factor. One of the systems was given to us as a tower, but the
case itself is identical to the others. The only issues I've had was
that on one of them, RHEL 5.3 hangs on udev (until I blacklisted a
driver), and one can only use 1GB memory sticks, the reast are all 64GB.
We will be upgrading to the new Xeon 8 core processors later this year.
