2 amd phenom x4 9950 2.6ghz? Building a computer


i found this motherboard and it looks like it can hold 2 amd chips. i am now deeply interested in this board but whenever i look for another site that carries it i can't find it anywhere, no reviews and nothing else. https://www.provantage.com/scripts/cart.dll/x/0/review is this board. i think i'm gonna go for it but that site doesn't seem like it knows what its talking about. like no mention of if holding 2 processors except for a very obvious picture. and if someone knows of a motherboard that can hold up to 4 pci x16 2.0, 8 gigs of ram, support of crossfire for 2 POWERCOLOR AX4870 512MD5-H Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16, pci x1, and 2 amd phenom quad-core 2.6ghz am2+. let me know.

Its says on that site that you link to that it only has single processor support, so even thought the picture shows two slots, it most likely only has one, it is something you might want to check. I also couldn't find that board on Newegg.com so I am not sure how legit it actually is. Check into it some more!

If you look at the blown up picture and squintjust a little you can make out that it is ASUS L1N64-SLI. Find it here:

http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1...30&modelmenu=1
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131146

It does look like a nice board.

sweet totally dude but i think that i'm actually going to stick with a phenom x4 and go with the m3a79-t deluxe. it sounds like the board kicks ass. also i'm in a predicament but for about the price i could either go for 2 ati ax4870 x2 or 1 ati ax4870 x2 2 gigs and 2 ate ax4870's 512mb and they both have the same ammount of stream processors. so i'm just wondering what would be my best choice.
