UD3P board I have. Are there any 'Pitfalls' to using an SSD Drive (64G maybe 128GB) to completely take the job of the Hard Drive? Or at least take up 99% of the job with THIS motherbaord?

I'm thinking about re-building my EP45-UD3L using one of these http://tinyurl.com/4jo3293 or these http://tinyurl.com/4uzxupl puppies as the system drive. Other than the power consumptions, does anybody know what the diff between them is? Does using either one sound reasonable? Caveats?

We want to replace an old HP proliant server with RAID 5. HP server bios allows config of an unused standby drive to automatically kick in if any active drive in the array fails. Regular consumer MBs seem to all support RAID 5 but this is not documented. We are thinking of a gigabyte board. Do...

I would like to buy GA-X58A-UD3R MoB for my i7. The problem is that my university will pay for it from public money. I can't just go to the nearest store and grab it.
