whats a good motherboard manufacturer that has workstation motherboards with dual intel i7 cpu sockets? you mean Xeons xeons would be for server worksloads I am looking for a desktop / workstation machine macbook pro :) RandalSchwartz: I don't really like the new trash can design the old style was so much better, looked like a premium product does the core i7 support a dual-processor configuration? I think not. yeah im fairly sure they don't only Xeons do they don't xeons only HP Z series workstations have some affordable multiproc configs affordable is sort of relative though, haha yeah i think we paid ~$2300 for a dual xeon workstation w/quadro FX-somethingorother gpu and 16GB of RAM moar ram it's got 64GB now, but that was cheaper to buy without speccing the machine w/it Did freenode just die?
