Title: Suggestions for Dual Pentium MB? (building a workstation)
Post by: mason22 on May 17, 2004, 10:20:19 AM

been a while since i've looked at dual Pentium platform....any suggestions as far as MB model?

I will have at least 1gig ram, SCSI HDs (w/ ultra 320 controller) with raid 1, basic 3d card (nothing fancy needed here). Will be running Win2K, or XP Pro.

thanks for any suggestions....

I do not think you are going to find a dual P4 motherboard.  Dual Xeon motherboard, yes.

Take a look at SuperMicro motherboards.
