Which ASUS Mainboards work with ESXi 3.5 ?

Hello,

I'm, using VMWare server right now on some noname Rack-Servers (with ASUS Mainboards inside).

Because I don't want to buy completely new systems, are there any ASUS-Mainboards for ESXi 3.5 ?

Thanks a lot.

Kind regards

VirtualSlew, I am evaluating DSBF-D12/SAS and wanted to check with you about onboard SAS LSI 1068 controller, so please correct me if wrong. The onboard SAS controller works in raid mode with ESXi but only in raid 0, 1 or 10, correct?

Thanks in advance!!

ASUS P5QL -PRO also works fine with 3.5i U4. After an upgrade was able to connect a SATA disk to the M/B instead of a promise controller, and worked fine.

I have tested a P5E WS PRO motherboard on ESX 4.0 and it crashes. These motherboards are no good for vmware. If you got it working, please let me know.
