Dual Xeon Motherboard?

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for a dual xeon motherboard, other than the EVGA SR-2, as I'm looking for a motherboard that will fit in a "normal" case rather than one of the ones specifically for the SR-2 thanks in advance.

did you seriously just say you didnt know about newegg? WOW


Also if you are overclocking that Evga board would be the way to go special case needed or not.

Good point, and there's really no reason for me to know about it, the don't ship to England...

yeah i know they dont ship international, im not in the US either i just use the site for searches for finding products and product comparisons.

If i was you i would consider that evga board, or if not overclocking the supermicro boards are good too and can be had in ATX form factor.

Agreed, after hearing what everyone says I think I'm going to go for the Evga board, just need to find a case that works for me now. I've seen a couple but none of them were what I was looking for.

This is always the problem with non standard mobo's.

You might consider a ATX 1366 single socket board and go with a 6 core gulftown if thats enough CPU power for you. Unless you really do need dual xeons and ECC ram.

Well to say I need it would be a lie, but my opinion with computer's is normally the more the merrier, as I like to upgrade rarely, and so the faster the longer it will last me, I bought my Current computer in 2006 and it's still running awesomely, obviously new graphics card and some other bits, but the base is still the same.

If you actually consider anything other then the SR-2 for a dual setup you're just throwing away money

Well I wouldn't say that, you still get maybe 12 cores and 24 threads? If your talking about overclocking then I guess thats an issue, but not "throwing your money away" kind of issue, surely?
 
I considered the SR-2 but my past experience with EVGA has been extremely poor as far as motherboards are concerned. Their video cards are okay though. I ended up buying a Supermicro X8DTL-iF for my DP needs since I need a stable vmware platform.

Can anybody tell me what is Dual Core Processor and what it's benefits?:|

Yes
Or
Besides, your question is quite unrelated to this (oldish) thread.

Personally, I prefer whole datacenter to single overclocked DP, but then again that is not something that you do at home.
