Well, I do not know. We are working on medical imaging so we need to make sure about the reliability of our systems.
I can't help you in this area. If you are looking for a stable and easy set-up system don't think twice about using mother boards with a lot of integrated chips.
You will face drivers problems, interrupts problems, etc.
