“AMD’s dual-core Opterons are arguably the swankiest bits of hardware around. Not only do the chips combine a pair of processor cores on a single chip, but they can also be combined in multi-processor, multi-core configurations. Today we’ve rounded up a trio of dual-Opteron motherboards that, in combination with AMD’s new dual-core chips, are each capable of serving up four processor cores from only two CPU sockets. Based on NVIDIA’s new nForce Pro 2200 chipset, these new motherboards are also the first PCI Express platforms for Opteron. Join us as we examine motherboards from Asus, Iwill, and Tyan that can make the quad-CPU workstation a reality.”
