CNET product brief

Description: The Super Micro X6DAI-G is an Intel E7525-based, server motherboard.Compared to other server motherboards on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $380.This motherboard supports Xeon processors that use the Socket 604 interface.

Pros: Supports up to 32GB of RAM.This is more than the average motherboard on the market today, but is to be expected for a motherboard of this price.

Cons: Has a serial ATA-150 storage interface, which is considerably less favorable than some similarly priced motherboards.For example, the Intel Server Board S5000VSA, an Intel 5000V-based motherboard at around $405, has a serial attached SCSI, ATA-133, and serial ATA-300 storage interface.

Suitability: A server motherboard, suited for building a server system.

Value: Overall, this motherboard's features are as expected for this price.

Suggestions: (1) You may want to consider purchasing PC 2700 DIMMs along with your motherboard if your existing memory is not of this type.(2) Be sure that you are using a Socket 604-compatible processor with this motherboard.(3) If you want to take full advantage of the on-board SATA controller, you will want to consider a hard drive upgrade.Existing IDE hard drives will run on the ATA-133 bus.
