I think this ethOS sounds like -the- solution for my new Ethereum mining project.

Just bought 4 new Radeon R9-390X2 and thought I would need at least 16GB+ ram
and a massive MB with i7 CPU for 2 cards. (x2)
Can ethOS do the job in this case? 2 cards on a older MB  (K9N 2core) with just 2GB ram and ethOS?
This would save a lot of money! And less frustration, took me a lot of time running first Rig and
it doesn't seem to be easier with my Devil 13's so far.

I would not do 2GB ram only because of the DAG file, takes much longer to make. Do 4. The R9 390's are a solid choice (they do 31MH/s once overclocked and proper settings in the miner are applied). Although depending on price the 270X is also not bad as it does 15MH/s and use much less power, then again depends on price per gpu.
