opterons have dual link ht so they can talk between themselves .. so you will need to look into server motherboard ... nothing else .. sorry but what you are dreaming about has to come from the server world ...
Me..Four systems running here and none are single socket.
Why? Here's some reasons:
1) Boards are better quality
2) Electrical usage for a given job done is better.
3) Space: The duals outperform the singles by a wide margin and take essentially the same space
4) Buy top boards,they don't break and I mean DON'T.
Whens the last time you saw a single socket board run 3+ years at 100% load with out a boot other than from a electrical outage or twice a year cleaning?
I see that all the time.
5) Time effectiveness: Toss any muti threaded task on a dualie and it's done much faster than any single socket machine can do.
Ok,thats settled, back on topic now.
Oh, I forgot one thing:
6) E-PEEN!
how much did all your dually system cost you ????
and yes i know people like to oc stuff up .. but only people on xs ... most people use their stock clocks system without any problem ..... BUT THOSE PEOPLE WORK and dont game ....
and to tell you the truth my single socket am2 opteron never did have to shutdown for a whole 13 months .. and i did a reboot only because a hdd crashed ....
e-peen is all that matters to people oc'ing dual socket boards ....
