What do you guys think of this mobo? I has all the features I want, and seems decently priced (well, at least as far as Opteron mobos with PCI x16 go). 2 questions though: This board would support any Opterons (1.8 - 2.4) correct? About the power connector's...I see it has the 24 pin AND an 8 pin. Is the 8 pin something thats new? I would need a new ps also I suppose, since mine only has the 20pin atx connector and 4 pin 12v connector (Fortran 530watt). After looking at more info, it seems I need an "EPS12V" ps...is that correct?
I've been reading this forum for a while, though this would be my first dual proc system. It seems (lately at least) that more people use Xeons than opterons...is that mostly because you don't need registered RAM and the tend to be cheaper overall?
