Best Motherboard for running two Intel Quad-Core Xeon E5462 ??

The Tyan that toadeater linked to (S5397) would be better than the Tyan S5396, which was created for an OEM vendor initially and won't support 1600mhz fsb cpu's and 800mhz ram. The s5397 does.

As for the SM boards, they have this 'UIO' riser which is essentially a pcie slot. You can get SAS cards from Supermicro by looking at their UIO cards...

UIO cards ?? what is that ??

What I would like to see in the near future is a mobo that supports:

- Intel Quad Core * 2
- 5400 chipset
- Dual Channel DDR3 RAM
- SAS hard drive

Am I dreaming in technicolour ??
