Those usually have top-of-the-line devices (SATA, Net, sound) which are not widely supported, or even stable. I've seen (and sometimes built) several Intel Xeon 51xx systems that work without problem with server boards. > 2) Can anyone suggest a well supported board with gigabit lan, onboard > video, and PCIe expansion, that accepts Core2 Duo CPUs? If you're willing to pay for it, server boards will suit you better. For example something like this: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/5000P/X7DBE.cfm > Also, the amd64 documentation states support for Athlon64s, Opterons, > certain Xeons, and EMT64 capable Pentium 4s, Pentium Ds, and Celerons. > Will it not run on Core 2s or is this a shortcoming in the > documentation? I though the Core 2s were 64-bit capable. The server version of Core 2, aka Xeon 51xx, works fine in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode. --------------enig72FEFF8311086CD87AD52C5E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFtRacldnAQVacBcgRAmcQAJ4/MgSQGCFo0K93AsCud/sBEpMpBwCfWTNx 25rEpKO7A6cNTuSG+VoJ0dk= =Q0Tg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig72FEFF8311086CD87AD52C5E--
