Workstation setup with Xeon E series

[stefanosk]

Hey guys,

I'm looking to set up a dual cpu workstation. Will the intel S5000XVN motherboard work with the xeon E3-1230 (lga115) cpu? Does anyone have any recommendations for an alternative set up?

as far I can tell it was only designed to handle Dual Core CPUs; however, have you tried contacting Intel?

what are you running that a i5 or i7 cannot handle?
