   Found and ordered a motherboard + CPU + RAM combo to replace the current build this very webserver is using.
   
   Motherboard: Supermicro X9SCM-F
   CPU: Intel Xeon E3 -1230 v2 (3.30 GHz)
   RAM: 16GB DDR3 (when it arrives, I will note the exact specs)
   
   
   Current setup is the following:
   
   Motherboard: Tyan Tomcat S2925 (with S2925-E v2.01 BIOS)
   CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 945 Rev. C3 (3.00 GHz)
   RAM: 8GB DDR2 (HP marked, uses Micron chips)

     For fun, here is a comparison (the 125W TDP is actually wrong on the Phenom II; it's 95W):

     I was just made aware that the Rev. C2 version of the AMD Phenom II X4 945 can be 125W TDP (most are 95W TDP), so that part is correct. So it does not account for the 95W Rev. C2 or C3 version of the CPU...
