2 * AMD 64 x2
Anyone know of a motherboard that supports 2 AMD 64x2 CPU's? i.e. 4
cores. Googling doesn't throw up much as it tends to pick up the 'dual' for PCI-express, etc. Tried all the online retails I can think of. TIA!

Just check the websites for the usual suspects, ASUS, TYAN, SuperMicro, MSI, you'll find lots of them.

Dear Martin, Newegg files dual CPU boards under "server": here are about 25 dual socket 940 Opteron boards: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...n=&srchInDesc= Lots of Tyan and Supermicros, one Asus board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131059 Note: I have a Tyan S939 motherboard, it has been absolutely great....I hear that Supermicro makes great motherboards, and, I have always had great luck with Asus as well. Dual core socket 940 Opteron CPUs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...&src hInDesc= If you are not familiar with Newegg, their customer reviews are a pretty good source of information--must consider the source--some people give bad reviews when an AMD processor doesn't fit in an Intel motherboard, but, most reviewers are pretty knowledgeable, and make good points. HTH, BC

Currently if you want to AMD processors you have to go Opteron. But if you can wait there should be some dual Athlon64 FX boards coming out around Q4 this year. Benjamin

Benjamin Are you quite sure about this? The Athlon 64 FX processor only has a single non-coherent HT link. scott

Benjamin Are you quite sure about this? The Athlon 64 FX processor only has a single non-coherent HT link. scott AMD is coming out with 4x4 which is really two Opteron 2xx rebranded as Athlon64 FX. They did the same thing with the original Athlon 64. The first Athlon64 was a rebranded Opteron 1xx in a 940 pin package, they later switched to a 939 pin package for the A64s and kept 940 for Opterons. Now they've gone back to a 940 pin package for the A64 (socket AM2) and moved the Opterons to a 1207 pin package (socket F). I'm not sure if the A64 4x4s are going to use the 1207 or stick with the AM2, my guess would be AM2. All they have to do to turn a A64 core into an Opteron core is to enable snooping on 1 of the hypertransport buses, that's probably done with a simple metal option, it might just be a jumper in the package.
