Socket AM2, 4 DDR2 Slots, 3 PCI Express x16
I need a motherboard like this:
Socket AM2, 4 DDR2 Slots, 3 PCI Express x16 I tried newegg.com but I can't get all that together. I hope a mobo like this exists. If not, you can list one close. Here's what I need to get in: eVGA 512-P2-N575-AX Geforce 7900GTX 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - 2 slots of PCI Express x16. $574 CORSAIR XMS2 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model TWIN2X1024-8500 - 2 slots DDR2, and room to double the amount later with the 2 of the same. $229 AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Windsor 2000MHz HT Socket AM2 Processor Model ADA4600CUBOX - $599 Im probably being greedy but I want an uber high end computer. The extra PCI Express slot is for my hope that a physics card like the ageia one will be PCI Express one day. I assume it will be nicer than PCI. Plus I get the time to let them get the bugs out. Oh, and if you can find better prices for any of those things, the you're my hero!  Last edited by rian222; Jun 6, 2006 at 10:25 PM. |

Hmm, I heard something about that processor that will make it not that great with ddr2. Can sum1 clarify this? Also, th gfx card I mentioned takes up 2 slots. Does that mean it has SLI with iteslf? if not, more PCI Express would be nice, but that would add up to a total of 5 PCI Express x16. Probably not one in existence though.

So i did a little reasearch, and it looks like socket AM2 will be better than 939. Here is a link:
http://anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2762 It looks like it is what I need for DDR2 so I will need an AM2 port in the mobo instead of a 939. Also, If an admin could change the title of this thread or if sum1 could tell me how to do it myself that would be nice. So it could say Socket AM2, 4 DDR2 slots, and 3 PCI Express x16 slots. Thx. I added the new processor I will be using in also. Last edited by rian222; Jun 6, 2006 at 10:24 PM. |

Jetway is the only company that I know of currently making boards with 3x PCI-E 16x slots. They are so new, however, their website does not even list them yet -- from my understanding only benchmarkers can get their hands on them at the moment.

well I found The closest I have found is one at newegg, it has 2 PCI Express x16 and 2 PCI Express x1, 3 PCI and 4 DDR2 Slots. However the North Bridge is right between the 2 Pci EXpress x16 slots so Im pretty sure I can't even fit a double decker GFX card in.
