He has the system in hand, so is going to make it work. U can hear the

I was close to jumping off a cliff. But as it happens you were right in
a prior reply when you said that was a bad motherboard choice. The
specifications on Intel's website confused me. I have seen lots of
pictures of the S5520UR and obviously it has no PCIe slots. And can't
find any adapter.
As mentioned in a prior post, a dual socket LGA 771 system could do.
Apparently it uses quad channels for memory. But I want the six memory
channels and access to newer CPUs provided by the LGA 1366.
