What motherboards support a dual QUAD setup?
I was thinking of a quad setup but for a little more money I might as well add another quad chip for a dual quad machine. Any suggestions appreciated.

Re: What motherboards support a dual QUAD setup?
you must find a MB ( motherboard ) that have chip control noth number more > 965
intel 965-975-p35 ? etc...
the best option test RAM maybe nothchip p35, because permit DDR2 and DDR3 ?
some previus Nvidea northchips 680i? and news can run QUAD
if you like QUAD check that revisio is "Go". better for Overclocking
but I think that a FAST DUAL with good ram and latency values are better...

None of those motherboards allow one to use two Quads in the same machine.Karmazen & Oliver wrote:you must find a MB ( motherboard ) that have chip control noth number more > 965

You need server boards in order to use 2 x quad processors.
For example Intel 5000 series. Of course you would need to buy Xeon processors to use with these boards.

oppss I undestand ( spanish is better for me ) that the user say:
ONE CPU, and dual or quad Cores in the same CPU...
obviusly, if the user say DUAL stocket... 8 cores, on 2 CPU that north-chips not permit that
xeon... or better k10 AMD.. opterons

Dual means 2 TIMES 4 QUAD, (Dual Quad) Not to hard?
