I really want to buy a mainboard that can handle two amd 2000+ athlons and suggestions would be appreciated.
Wow! I want to buy a dual board, in about 6 months.
I am not really an expert, Steve Glover, and some others here, would be better to ask, but I know this much: I would not but this board!

First, Dual 2800+ means two - processors, each one up to 2800+ (they would both be the same)so TWO 2800+ PROCESSOORS.

Why this board? My concern is that it is only AGP 4X, doesn't have onboard USB, and only FSB = to 266Mhz, which means that you cannot use higher than DDR 266Mhz/PC2100 - and it is already outdated if you are going to do any gaming or performance stuff like video encoding etc.

However, for a server setup, it is a sweet, sweet looking arrangement - but here I am out of my league.

So, what will you be using it for?
Personally, I am looking at dual AMD Opteron setups, so I absolutely don't mind helping you research this stuff! I am pretty busy today, but if others don't chip in, I will be back !!

So, c'mon everbody!
