im thinking to buy (in the next months) a Dual Opteron system but don't know wich mobo it's the better solution.
There's are so few mainboards on the market and the chipset they mount are very obscure.
There's any dual cpu mobo with (for example) NVIDIA2 chipsets or similar?
Thanx a lot.

I use a Tyan Tiger K8W, a very nice board, good layout, all features I need, really good tech support, very stable, standard ATX form factor, AMD 8111 chipset - and it's not that expensive. I would have bought a Thunder K8W, but this one is _very_ expensive, and E-ATX, so you need a special case.
I would never again buy a board based on Nvidia, SIS or VIA chipsets, AMD's chipsets may be slower, but they are much more stable.

It isn't important if CW doesn't support SMP, if it doesn't, Scope uses only a single CPU. But the hosts could benefit, if they are multi-threaded...
