Got an extra 256MB RAM to beef up the server, slid it into the motherboard, and BAM, motherboard fried. :(
So now we're back running on an old ancient spare box i had lying in the closet, using last week's backup, 'cause the old motherboard won't talk to the newer hard drive i had been using. *sigh* got a new motherboard on order, but it may not be in for a few days.
