How should I decide whether to get the K8N-E Deluxe or K8N4-E Deluxe
motherboard?

Net: I don't care about the graphics card -- so AGP vs. PCI-E is not a
issue on that front.
However, I care a lot about stability, reliability, RAID implementation, and
IO bandwidth.

So I'm not sure whether I'm better sticking with the nForce3-250 for this
754 socket or going with the nForce4. Some reviews seem to indicate that
the nForce4 had some restrictions implemented when they put it into the K8N4
mobo (e.g., firewall is disabled) and that lead me to think I might be
better off sticking with the nForce3.

This machine will be used primarily as a home file server (several disks
running RAID to help avoid data loss due to HD failure) , audio media server
(will move all my CD collection onto this machine and plug it into my
stereo). This will *NOT* be gaming machine. This machine will *NOT* be
overclocked. Maybe will run photo or video editing software to work on the
stored files.

Here is my plan -- goal is the best value for the buck system....

WinXP or Linux (undecided)
K8N-E Deluxe or K8N4-E Deluxe
Sempron 3100 (BX)
qty 2 of 512Mb Kingston Value RAM
<based graphics card with S-Video -- TBD>*
qty 2 Hitachi 160 GB HD SATA (more added as needed)
qty 2 Maxtor 160 GB HD PATA
Antec Sonata II case

Thanks,
Craig

* Oh, I also care about making this quite since I may put the machine in the
living room if the disk drives don't make too much noise. Any suggestion
for a video card that will support S-Video out but which does not require a
cooling fan on it? (obviously, this varies based on which board you
recommend -- but please keep the recommendation low cost).
