Hey,

Anyone know about any dual opteron Motherboards that support PCI-Express.

I figure that if I want hyperthreading, the next best thing was to get a dual Opteron System. Since Opterons are basically Athlon FX's with the additional Hypertransport Buses and SSE3 instruction support, basically I'm looking at biulding a rig that has the CPU advantages of both Intel and AMD.

I heard that the NF4 chipset supported Opteron as well, so is there any mobo's with it for the Opteron?
 
yea i know one It supports two FULL 16x PCIex Slots and two Opteron CPUshttp://www.tyan.com/products/html/thunderk8we.html
 
Now that, coupled with GF6800GT/Ultra's in SLI, 2 x 2.4GHz Opterons, and a nice Scsi U320 raid and a heathly dose of 2GBRAM (4x512 4 channels would it not? dual per CPU?) would make a killer of a machine any techie would be proud to own.

Anyone with that could kill us all...........AHHHHH!
