Hey I was wondering if anyone knows any mobo's with 6 slots for ddr ram. And allow AMD's Processors... Any help would be great! Thanks
Hey sorry for the harsch answer, I'm pissed right now but that's not my job to show it to the other members. I'll try and behave :good:
Hey thanks for your replies, Opteron motherboard.. Can you link me to a site or give me some examples on exactly what that is?
I'll have to look. Most of the available Opteron motherboards currently available do not have AGP, and are aimed at the server market rather than workstation. I gotta look them up for some exact links, but RioWorks (http://www.rioworks.com/HDAMB.htm) does have a dual Opteron board with AGP. MSI has a dual opteron board based on the Via 8KT800 chipset, but it only has 4 DDR slots, though it does have AGP. Asus SK8N nForce 3 Pro 150 is the only single Opteron board available, but this again has only 4 DDR slots. Right now the Opteron is a primarily a server-class CPU, and most of what you're gonna find in the way of server boards will have at least 6 DDR slots, but no AGP. Right now, the RioWorks board is the only one that fits your criteria. I'll have to look around, but it doesn't seem to be available in the US, according to Pricewatch It's new technology and isn't targeted at the desktop. You're also looking at around $300-500 for a basic motherboard, and like $250 a pop for each CPU.
http://www.tyan.com/products/html/thunderk8w.html Just was over at 2CPU.com and saw a link to Tyan's dual Opteron board with AGP. You'll probably be looking at $500 at least, and it wouldn't surprise me if it was over $600.
www.newegg.com I know they sell them, and are one of the most reliable resellers on the web. The Tyan K8W board was just announced, and I don't think it's available yet. If you do find it, do yourself a big favor and check Reseller Ratings. You'll avoid getting hosed by some screwballs if you check them out first.
