Anybody have experience with AMD's AM1 platform?
The boards are basically cheap as can be. I'm worried about running them 24x7 for anything. Might fail in a month or two. They are also cheaping out on IO... 4 sata ports max, 1 NIC only.
And I'm not sure if the AM1 processors packs enough compute for basic windows file server.
Total cost is around $100 for board and cpu, but I would also have to add in extra DDR3 ram since I don't have any that's non-ECC.
