I'm shopping around for new server hardware. Unless someone has a reason to think of something else, I'm planing on a i7-4770K. The more interesting question is what motherboard to get.
I have my eye on the Asus Sabertooth Z87, but I see that it talks of uefi. What I do not yet see, is whether the system can boot in a non- uefi mode or not. Given that the motherboard is at least a little OS agnostic, I have some hope that it will work. But I don't know, and in general I think it might be worth talking of strategies for motherboard selection given the size of the marketplace. I wonder if this might make a new section Thoughts? --STeve Andre'
