Dual opteron mb

[cwdegood]

Well, after a few months of thinking on the idea i've decided to go ahead and build my dual opteron/SLI gaming system.

I guess you can figure why i'm here

I'm having trouble finding a motherboard, money isnt really an issue as i've been saving to build this for quite some time.

The only SLI capable, dual opteron mb I liked was This one.

I'm just unable to settle with it, I've used tyan before and really enjoyed the product(Athlon MP).

I just want to get the best I can, so I figured i'd get some ideas before I purchased this.

I'm pretty set on a dual opteron setup, just need to piece it together.. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thunder K8WE is about as big a gun as you can have for a dual opteron workstation. The only other maker of (separately available) Opteron WS mainboards is SuperMicro, and they hide it under the "APlus" moniker. They have quite a few permutations as well, check them out.

Newegg has a few choices, two Tyans, an Iwill and a Supermicro. Don't expect to be able to run the Opterons at, ahem, what they're capable of running at, but should make for a nice over-the-top rig.
