Motherboards for Xeon 3075

[colo4jax]

Hi all. I'm looking for motherboards compatible with the Xeon 3075. Per http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/241421-28-xeon-socket the EVGA 680i does this, and would be fine for my purposes, although I would prefer micro ATX. My requirements are only 8+ GB of RAM, compatibility with the Xeon obviously, onboard video, and preferably mATX.

I've tried searching NewEgg for boards with nVidia 6xx and mATX but they're only returning two boards with 4GB max RAM, both of them EVGA. Does anyone know other chipsets/motherboards that will support the Xeon 3075 besides the expensive boards with the Intel 3000 chipsets?

TIA!

Not exactly; those are all dead ends. My search on NewEgg was a power search, manually checking off the nvidia 610, 630, 680, etc. The text search you offered only pulls up 3000 chipset boards (the same ones I don't want, as indicated above). As for supermicro, that matrix is awesome but apparently all of their microatx boards are either 3000 chipsets or they're 946GZs which don't support that chip (being 1333mhz FSB).

But thanks!

Yep, that series of boards is based on the 3200 series chipsets - the same ones I'm trying to avoid due to cost, per my original post.

Honestly I'm more of an amateur. But I did find this:

It's only a minor furtherance of my goal, but apparently the G33 chipset is capable of supporting these 3000 Xeons as I had hoped. I have a real bias against non-Intel chipsets with an Intel chip. It's not mATX but it meets the other requirements as best I can tell. It's also mildly cheaper than the 3000 series chipset boards. Unfortunately Supermicro's site doesn't say it supports Xeons, but i've seen this on a couple of different vendors sites so hopefully it's not a misprint.

I'll continue my quest of googling until someone who actually owns one of these chimes in. Surely my goals aren't unreasonable. Thanks again.
