The HE-SL has support for AGP (and thats why I think it's the WS), and
Supermicro has a version with AGP called 370DE6
(http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/MotherBoards/RCC_HE_SL/SUPER%20370DE6%20SPECIFICATIONS.htm).
This mb is not possible to use in a 1U rack (using vertical DIMMs)

Yet another reason for saying that HE-SL is in fact WS. I may be able to
confirm this with Serverworks, later.
