Jozef, <Ths is one of the Server Works chipsets, correct? Most of the good servers I am considering cost $5,000+ barebones, and you get some bones that you don't necesarily want.> I'm sure www.supermicro.com has other boards with chipsets from ServerWorks, some of which are dual-processor. I'm also sure there are plenty of other motherboards being sold separately which support 2-way ServerWorks chipsets. By the way, ServerWorks was formerly known as RCC. Compaq's DL380 line of servers says it uses the RCC 3.0 LE chipset, so that means it's from ServerWorks. I hear the name change is a prelude to their IPO this summer. Tenchusatsu

Joe, a quick check at pricewatch turned this one up: SuperMicro S2QR6 (USA) QUAD XEON RCC WTX. No CPU $2565 Available from Micro X-Press, microx-press.com, don't know anything about them. I just searched for RCC, nothing came up under serverworks. It'd be a lot cheaper to go with dual duals, if you can distribute things, but if you need the cycles, there you go. A search for "quad xeon" brings up apparently one other (much cheaper) choice , Intel SC450NX, QUAD XEON MB W/ DUALCHANNEL U2W SCSI, No CPUS. $999 I got no idea about that one, though, it shows up in some packaged systems on pricewatch too. Maybe it's obsolete. Cheers, Dan.
