Just a caution..... You may want to do some checking about the integrated audio. That feature has a bad tendency to have less than optimal drivers. It isn't function so much, as load and resource cost. Just as a test, I enabled and loaded the audio drivers on -one- of the A-64 renderboxes I have (4 of them are all Asus A8V-VM micro ATX boards with A-64-3000's (boxed, not OEM), and 1 gig of Kingston Valueram). That one renderbox suddenly took at least twice as long to boot than the other three. A lot of the oncard solutions eats your CPU cycles, be it video or audio. If you have no intentions of doing audio with your workstation, don't let it install the drivers, and make sure the audio is disabled in the BIOS.
