ATI logo, where you see that? :/

And I believe the nForce 4 does support Opteron as well.

Iwill DK8ES / Dual Socket 940 / nVIDIA CK8-04 + AMD 8131 / Extended ATX workstation motherboard [IW-DK8ES]

nVIDIA CK8-04+AMD 8131 - Dual AMD Opteron - 8x DIMM (4+4), up to 16GB ECC REG - ATI RageXL Graphics integrated - One x16 PCI-E - One x2 PCI-E (w/ x16 slot) - 1x PCI-X 64/133 - 2x PCI-X 64/100 - 4x SATA 2.0 ports w/ RAID 0,1,10 - 2x Broadcom PCI-E GbE - 10x USB2.0 - IPMI 1.5 (Option)

There is not a ck8-04 chipset with integrated graphics, so all ck8-04 boards with integrated graphics will have to use ATI(or other) solutions.

Unfortunately it seems that the second PCI-x16 physical slot on this board only offers x2 bandwidth, so not a good choice for a gaming SLI board.

Opteron has an ondie memory controller so the mobo really has nothing to do w/ memory support, other than having the proper slots... at this time and for the near future Opterons/A64s do not support DDR2

darn, now that would've been another excuse to get a dual cpu board ;)

X2? Where did you read that? I thought these were supposed to be X8 slots.

Yeah, I think that actually both are 16x, but plugging a card in both will slow them down to 8x.
