Looking for a good dual CPU motherboard w/ Rambus Memory

[ErikHanson]

I'm looking to buy a new dual CPU motherboard with Rambus memory so I can use my old machine's PC800 RIMMs/RamBus Memory. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I do not believe that the 850 chipset boards support duel CPU's.

Dell's Precision 530 is a dual processor with Rambus/RIMM memory and uses a i850 or i860 chip.....

But those Dell Precision 530 series systems use the expensive Socket 603 Intel Xeon processor. The much more common Pentium 4 processor doesn't support multiprocessing at all, only uniprocessing (single-processsor).

Your going to have to look at the motherboards with the Intel i860 chipsets if you want to use Xeon processors(same design as the P4) or the new Intel E7500 chipset, which also work with the Xeon processors. Supermicro and Tyan have motherboards that use these chipsets. The i860 motherboards use Rambus memory and the E7500 motherboards use DDR memory.
