[GRLUG] Motherboard Advice

[Greg Folkert]

I've been using SuperMicro Server Motherboards for this type of thing.

but 4 - PCI-e x16 v2.0 slots... WOW, that will be your limiting feature
there.

The only thing *I* can find with 4 - PCI-e x16 slots are the following

ASUS L1N64-SLI, Dual AMD Opteron (not what you are looking for)\

ASUS P5W64-WS, Single Intel C2E/C2D/Pentium Extreme/Pentium D/
P4/Celeron (also not what you are looking for)

Tyan S4985G3NR, QUAD AMD Opteron (not what you are looking for)

Tyan S2915A2NRF-E Dual AMD Opteron (not what you are looking for)

Tyan S2915WA2NRF Dual AMD Opteron (not what you are looking for)

Now, since you were so exacting... Intel just happens to have a
motherboard just like that.

INtel, BOXD5400XS Dual Socket 771 intel Express Chipset 1600FSB DDR2-800
PCI-e with 4 PCI-e x16 slots with Addin card... 
Motherboard alone == about $649 plus the add in card is about $230.

Don't know where to get the add in card.
