I bought this old MOBO, CPU, and heatsink from a friend for $50. He didn't know what he had but told me it was a Core 2 Quad so I bought it to make it into a ubuntu server and due to lack of parts to build it up I started with new thermal paste. It was no Core 2 Quad but a Quad Core Xeon. That makes two Xeon's in my family now. It's going to be just fine for a Ubuntu server.
