Motherboard that supports two quad core

Is there any motherboard that supports up to 2 quad core? Becuz mac pro and dell dimension can have up to 2 quad core. So is there any motherboard that supports 2 quad cores?

There is but, frankly, unless you're building a server, or your main usage is folding then you'd have to be completely shot away to want to build a computer around it.

the new amd 74 fx or summet is meant to use 2 phsical chips so that would require a 2 chip mobo.

True, but why go for 2 AMD dual cores, setup as a quad, running FB dimms of ram when you can get a single cpu with 4 cores in the shape of an Intel?

You'd have to be nuts, not least because of the cost......and heat......and power required.......and the lousy ram......and the cost of that ram.

Sorry, I'm rambling.
