What AMD procesor and motherboard would be the best combo money could buy? I'm lookin at server motherboards, that have like quad processors that u can put the opteron quad core or w/e and then 16 ram slots but it doesnt have like a lot on the i/o panel (usb, iee394a or w/e, lan). what is the best motherboard (two processors or more, with a lot of stuff on the i/o panel) and NO PCI-X Slots. idk what that is, ive never heard of it until i saw these server motherboards. i want at least 3 pci-e x16 and at least one pci (regular) slots. and what amd processor would be best for it. thanks 
I would suggest you look around on the SuperMicro site for server type motherboards. Just be careful what kind of MEMORY is required, often, you are talking more expensive RAM for those boards. Remember also, that those motherboards are designed for business applications, not gaming...so just buying a $500 motherboard isn't necessarily going to do you any better than a $250 standard ATX mobo. You may even find that with two separate physical processors running more RAM will actually be a slower performer than if you just had a dual or quad core on a higher end ATX mobo. I know it is tempting to the EGO to think if you build a server level computer you will have a faster, better computer, but just bear in mind...businesses and corporations generally don't give one hoot about the quality of graphics or sound on those computers...they are for backing up and storing and serving up corporate data.
