All, Did a search.... cant find a quick answer to an mobo that would be compatable with HD2(PCI) and run 2 Dual core Xeons... just like a MacPro. Any model numbers handy? Thanks, S0nguy

All, This doesnt seem to be a hot topic. Should I wait until the dual Quads come out? Apparently they will be out sometime at teh end of the year. -S0nguy

The Tyan X7DAE-0 seems to handle tow pcix 0r pci cards fo HD 2 Pci na 2 dual or quadcore 5000 0r 100 series processors. I'm struggling to determine intel or amd. Nikki-K you're on MAC Pro, whats your take on the Mac and did you Purchase HD Core or HD2?? Thank You

Bought the Mac Pro and HD2 Accel. Tons of power, really happy. Only using XP for a gaming computer now. Would like to see Vista in action onc eit is out and sorted...but I doubt I would jump back.

So......I typed that motherboard model in and got some weird results. What is the fastest PC, XEON based that we are going to be able to build that will accomodate an HD2 (PCI)? -S0nguy

Why not just use the supportted xw9300. You can put dual dual opterons in and it can run a HD 3 with no problems. Really fast computer. Brandon

That's a good idea.... I guess I'm just the type of guy who build his Pcs. I mean... if I buy the HP what will I do with my 250 dollars water cooling kit?!!? Now, if I could buy the motherboard and processors out of the HP or the Dell 670, that would be nice. I already have raptors and all teh other goodies.. -S0nguy
