Supermicro w/ Core 2 Duo E series CPU's

I have a DAW that was built w/ the Supermicro P4SCT+II that runs 3 x Scope Pros and GSIF I w. Gigastudio 160 vrs. 2.54. This has never failed onstage once. It uses a little known version of the 875 chipset which matured nicely over time.
I have an associate here in LV who uses UAD w/ SFP and prefers Supermicro mobo's w/ Intel logic.
4 those who seek 4 x 32bit PCI w/ PCI-e video, these may be of interest.
These Are Ready 4 64bit Memory Addressing.


I Am Quite Sure That These Dogs Will Hunt, A Couple More Dollars To House Expensive DSP Cards Is A Sound Investment IMHO.

There is also the PDSBE, with four slots and no graphics o.b., I downloaded the manual and it seems a great mobo! I hope someone knows something else....it's tempting.

These are known as mission critical mobos in the serverworld, and as I said the old DP DAW has never crashed once, and I'm not even running that one myself, but a bunch of Hussies, and a 2 man crew. Be original, take a chance.

seems very intesting and quite inexpensive too... It seems there is enough room (which is the problem of a host of boards that do not allow to plug everything - slots and options are too close so beware of bif graphic cards, etc...).
I am waiting for an intel board (as suggested on this forum) but i am not sure i will be able to but : 1) my fanless gigabyte 7600GT and my big cpu cooling system Noctua NH U12... So i may be very interested in this board .... as a silent rack is one of my priority !

even the stock cpu cooler on the conroes is practically dead silent.
