Hey there, long time reader first time poster.
i wanted to get myself a nice server motherboard that i can play about with it for folding or experimenting so i thought about this:
Arima NM46X NM461
www*rioworks*com/server/Download/DM/NM46X-1*pdf (replace the stars with "." since i have less than 5 posts unable to put link normaly)
I can get my hands on one fairly cheap and provides both pcie and PCI-X so i can use some spare infiniband cards i have laying about.
It is a Dual socket opteron board and it says it supports 2000-series CPU's.
My confusion comes to the CPU since i'm unable to find a specific CPU support list i'm not entirely sure whether it will support only 2nd or 3rd Gen CPU's and i'm abit cautious since i've not played with opterons before and there's a heck of alot of them.
I was planning on getting two AMD Opteron Quad-Core 2356 2.3GHZ to chuck in the thing but i'm unsure if they will work with this mobo.
would anyone beable to offer any advice on this?
Thanks in advance
