Motherboard Gold Standard?
Last response: in Motherboards
Hi guys. I'm in a position to build a substantial system, and I was looking at the Asus Rampage III Extreme, a very nice card with good writeups.
However, gaming is only half the story. The machine will also be a workstation running Lightwave and Vue xStream, and will need to serve me for a few years (as my current one has, very well), so some amount of midlife upgradability would be nice to consider.
But the thing I'm most interested in is the possibility of a dual processor (or more) motherboard, to get a possible 8 cores from two i7s lets say, and maybe more than 24GB of DDR3 RAM. Is there such a beast?
(Also - and I know this is going to sound somewhat daft, but the Rampage only has one PS2 connector and my dual-monitor KVM uses PS2 keyboard & mouse, and I'd like to keep it that way![:)]( ":)")
