Best motherboard for Dual Xeon 3.06GHz CPUs?
 

I have recently bought two Xeon 3.06GHz CPUs, and I plan to build a new server (my P4 1.7 is a little old now :P) and I was wondering what you guys feel the best motherboard is for them.

I've looked at one of Asus's, but I believe this is more of a workstation board than a server board.
(I'm not allowed to post URLs, so search for PC-DL)

I've never built a server with this power before so I have no idea what I'm looking at.

Can anyone give me any tips?

Thanks :)

The best server motheroboards is Supermicro though they are costly and they are built in the USA. Theres Tyan and Gigabyte.

Concur.. Go SuperMicro. If you're building a server that is.. Few if any of their Xeon boards have AGP for instance. They are intended to be used as servers, not desktop workstations. The Xeon products that is, they also build some regular P4 workstation boards.

Thanks for the info :)

Much appreciated.

I can't wait to see the speed of these :)

Sorry, one more question. After looking at the SuperMicro boards, I noticed there are two different chipsets.

What is the difference between the two chipsets (E7505 & E7501)?

Is one faster than the other?

Thanks :)
