Which MOBO is better

https://goo.gl/9bdbiV : For 311.98 (Tax + Shipping Included)

or

https://goo.gl/dBR7ON: for 292.98 (Tax + Shipping Included)

Im looking for a Dual CPU MOBO for 2 E5-2600 Chips. I am using it for a Data Server/ and Streaming Computer ( I have a gaming computer which will be playing the games, this computer will just encode them for youtube).

Anything Helps!

They seem very similar, it's up to you if the extra ram slots are worth it for the extra money. I'd probably go with the cheaper one, spend that money on extra Ram.

Why are the White Ram slots even there...? If they are both quad channel I don't see a reason to have 8 Slots for Each CPU.?
Am I missing something there?

(P.S. : Thanks for the quick answer!)

Just extra capacity. Same reason theres 2 cpu sockets. You gotta think about the system resources being split between 30-50 diff users at any one time.

So Even If its Quad Channel, If I populate all 8 Slots (Per CPU) Each Would Work?

Yup, same way as my skylake chipset runs dual channel but has 4 slots. Doesn't run any faster(bandwidth) if fully populated but the extra resources are nice when you really need it.

Thx, I Finally understand the Ram Issue.

But the other Major Difference I see Between the 2 Boards is the SATA connections. The Cheaper one has:
2 SATA3 (6.0Gb/s), 8 SATA2 (3.0Gb/s) by Intel C602, Supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10
4 SATA3 (6.0Gb/s) by Marvell SE9230, Supports RAID 0, 1, 10

and the More Expensive one has:
8 SATA2 (3.0 Gb/s) by Intel C602, Supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10
2 SATA3 (6.0 Gb/s) by Intel C602, Supports RAID 0, 1.

2 Questions, What is Marvell (And why does it matter that the SATA is through that). And 2nd, Why does the Cheaper One Have More (Faster) Sata connections.. Thx (Sorry for all these Questions)

Aftermarket sata controllers have different reliability than oem(intel) for better or worse. How many drives've you got to use?

My plan was to have 2 Virtual Machines Running Simultaneously. Each VM would have 1 SSD (Maybe 2 In The Future) and each would have 4 HDD's. The Disks would be allocated to each VM to ensure they are only used by one VM.

I dont exactly know how the VM software works but I think I need another Drive to hold Boot info. If that is the case add another SSD to the mix.

Check out youtube videos from linustechtips. He build a pc where 6 gamers ran off one local tower or something. Complicated VM software.

Yes I saw that, that's where my idea came from.
