I need help finding a vendor for a motherboard with particular requirements. The application requires high I/O through-put on PCI-e (PCI Express) adapter boards. Therefore the hard requirements are:
- At least four slots for PCI-e x8 adapters. x16 is, of course, acceptable - At least two CPU sockets that accomodate dual core AMD CPUs. The four cores are needed to keep the PCI-e I/O pipes full. - Video NOT on the PCI-e bus. That means an AGP or PCI slot for the video. Softer requirements are: - At least 2GB RAM for each CPU - 6 USB connections - On-board SATA II controller for the boot drive A board that meets this criteria is the Asus L1N64-SLI WS Motherboard (Example vendor page: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2853609&CatId=3489) However this board is going away and finding AMD CPUs for an Socket L1 is becoming harder than I thought. Do any of you have a favorite high performance computer system or parts vendor that you would recommend? Alan
