Server Motherboard for gaming

Solution
You can, in fact you can game with any kind of motherboard, but there is no point in using a server board. Most games benefit from CPU clock speed, not parallelism or hyperthreading. So having 2 quad cores running at lower speed than extreme edition i7 doesn't mean you run games faster, but rather slower in most cases.
