What I am looking for is something like this:

But there must be more options available.
This one is limited to 16GB Ram.

I am looking for a high end video editing work station, using 2 Quatro FX graphics cards.

or this one with 64gb from Tyan, by using a memory riser add-on.

When I read your post the first thing I thought was Tyan but Yoosty beat me to it. Tyan makes very good server boards you should look there first.

I had looked at the Tyan boards and they looked great. One thing that confused me though is, I am looking for 2 PCI express x 16 slots and the Tyan boards list the slots like:

1 PCI Express x16 (x4 Sig.)
1 PCI Express x16 (x16 Sig.)

Does that mean it has a x16 and an x4 Slot?

Thanks!

It means 1 will be at full 16 speed and the other runs at 4 speed. Tyan has 1 board that runs at 16x and the other at 8x speed and another board that has both running at 8x speed.

The only one I saw that let both run at 16x was for an AMD Operton, but it also had 2 PCIe 16 (x4sig).

Believe same goes for the SuperMicro mobo's also. Either they cut spped in half for both PCI Express x16 or 1 will run at 16 signal and they other 4 signal.
