A question about a Mainboard for a real high-end system

Hi,

i will buy a new computer because mine is going to slow (single p4 2.5GHz, running with 2.8 and Rambus 800). I searched a lot and found now 2 Mainboards from wich i think one is the right one. But i don't know wich.
I want to buy a dual board with 2 intel Xeon 2.8 or 3.06 GHz on it. And no, plse no comments about AMD is cheaper, faster, better....

The mainboards are from www.supermicro.com

in shortform:

P4DCE+ II ........................................X5DAE
-> slot 603 2.8 GHz ..........................-> slot 604 3.06 GHz
-> 400 MHz FSB ................................-> 533/400 FSB
-> 600/800 MHz Rambus ..................-> 266 DDR interleave
-> 4PCI 33, 2 x-PCI ..........................-> 2PCI, 3x-PCI
-> 4USB.............................................-> 6USB
-> AGP Pro 4x....................................-> AGP Pro 8x

I wanna use the new fx5900 Ultra, and that one has APG 8x. But i could search for a lower one with 4x APG if there is a fast one. Wich board would be the right one to have the most performance? (yes, i know it totaly uber-dimensioned for a home-pc)

There are also a few Mainboards from Tyan - I'm not addicted to SuperMicro anyway. What i want is a high performance for my system and i will use WinXP pro as OS. I got a word that i could get the fx5900 Ultra in 2 weeks.
If someone could leave a word about this - i appreceate it.

Sorry for my Genglish - im from germany.

Some people actually do serious work with their computers, not just play games, run 3DMark and post in forums!

It doesn't matter what you do with your computer, you can't possibly get much more performance than what you already have. Not that it wouldn't hurt, but you must be just loaded to want to upgrade a 2.5GHz machine.

That was really my point. 20% clock speed increase... gives you maybe 10% real increase (?) for an absurd amount of money.
