Quad motherboards

[botomoto]

Hello, I want to build my own high end workstation computer, solely for 3D renduring, animation, modeling, various other things. I want a lot of ram, four quadro cards, and obviously really fast hard drives. What motherboard/processor would be the best?? I want to have Four processors. And what would be the best solution to properly cooling this thing? How many fans?

if you really want processing power, you should get an i7. that's like having 8 processors in 1 chip. You should get an higher end ASUS maximus motherboard for tri channel DDR3 support. they'd go to 24 GB, you might not need more than 8 though. In this config you can get 3 high end graphics cards and run them with a bridge technology.

Ahh, cool. Thanks for the answer. 8 processors in one chip? That sounds...INSANE.

yeah, it uses a technology called hyperthreading, you should check it out.
