quizzy Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 well I'm on Intel, so i'll be sticking with Intel, preferably Xeons quad cores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 If you go here and choose "more options" on the bottom of the left panel you can enter criteria - choose the CPU socket type (LGA 775 for Core 2 Quad, LGA 771 for Xeon, LGA 1366 for i7) and hit Search at the bottom to narrow results, then look under the drop down for PCI Express 2.0 x16 to see what those options are.

Tedrux Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I have a dual card motherboard with 2 Nvidia Quadro 1gb cards in SLi mode and dual Zeon quad cores, it is fantastic. There are some good ones from intel. ATi also have a similar system. I have always prefered ATi over NVidia although this time, I've got the SLi...
