There are dual-940 motherboards with SLI that will support two dual-core
Opterons. However, I doubt that they would beat a single dual-core 939
setup with SLI in any gaming benchmarks.

Sorry about the US prices, only just seen the .ca in your address.

i doubt your doubts mainly because the previously mentioned Tyan K8WE
is the only board to run each slot of PCIe graphics at full speed (X16).
whereas single cpu mobos actually half the SLI speed to 8X each slot,
they only have one PCIe nForce controller chip.

dunno if that would make a large difference... except at 1600 x 1200
maybe...

Given even AGP 8x isn't stressed, 2x16 PCIE isn't going to make any
difference vs 2x8.
