This board is nice in that it has 12 DIMM slots - so you can easily get
12gb or 24gb in a 2P machine.  Uses the AMD8100 chipset.

Also is a fine motherboard.  Uses the AMD 8100 chipset.

I would get a rev 2.0 board (as it appears above you can) than get a rev
1.0 board.

Already talked about this one above.

This is the 1U rack mount version of the Tyan Thunder K8SD Pro (S2882-D).
It also is a fine board using the AMD 8100 chipset.

You should be happy with any of these three boards.
