I was looking into building a workstation for rendering animation and video editing. I would like to go with 2 quad core cpus.
I was thinking these. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115130
but the only motherboard I could find was this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121330&Tpk=dual xeon
This motherboard is a 771 socket and the cpus I want are 775. Does anyone know of a motherboard that can handle 2 quad core(775) processors and preferably has 8 memory dims?
If not are the xeon processors worth the extra cost? Most of the xeon processors are marketed as server, except the extreme editions. Does that matter? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
