 ASUS is well known for their motherboards and the Z8NA-D6C fits the bill as a motherboard that can act as a server or a workstation with dual Xeon CPUs. While the cost of a Xeon system is expensive for the most high-end CPUs, there are Xeon CPUs like the 5504 that cost much less and when paired with a Z8NA-D6C motherboard provide a powerful computer for any server or workstation applications you need to run. A definite plus is the addition of the PCI Express x16 slot to allow the motherboard to operate as a graphics workstation in conjunction with the appropriate video card. The onboard video is perfect for those wanting a server to only display the interface without the flair that a Windows GUI provides. Overall there is nothing to really complain about, the only thing that might daunt some Workstation users is the lack of onboard sound, and the fact you have to buy an Asus branded inline card to have audio. Whether or not this is an issue is up to the user interfacing with the system. Beyond that Asus once again has brought to market an excellent product.
