I'm building a Linux Server and I've got this dilemma with regards to the
mobo/ram configuration. This machine will be a file/print server for a
workgroup of about 10 people. It will also run a small MySQL database, an
apache web server, and a low traffic website. For the most part it will have
a pretty light load. Here are the two options I'm tossing back and forth:

1)
Asus A7A266 motherboard (ALi chipset)
Athlon TBird-C 1333Mhz 384K CACHE 266MHz Bus, Socket A, PGA 462
768MB (3x256) PC-133 SDRAM

2)
Asus A7M266 motherboard (761 chipset)
Athlon TBird-C 1333Mhz 384K CACHE 266MHz Bus, Socket A, PGA 462
512MB (2x256) PC-2100 DDR Ram
(It will cost me $100 Canadian extra to get this mobo and ram)

Which is better?
Option 1 is better because more ram is always better, even if it has the
crappier chipset?
 OR
Option 2 is better because it has a better chipset and faster ram. The speed
of the new ram more than makes up for the loss of the extra 256megs of SD
Ram. It will be well worth it to spend the extra $100.

Another nice thing about the A7A266 is that it has 3 SDRAM slots and 2 DDR
slots. So, if I wanted to upgrade to DDR later when prices come down a bit I
could.

How much of a difference does the chipset make in benchmarks anyway?

Another question I have is regarding ECC ram. This machine will be on all
the time. ECC ram is a lot more expensive in the DDR variety. Is it worth it
for me to go with the ECC? Up-time is important, but not "mission-critical".
If I needed to reboot the machine once in a while no one would care to much.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
