As above really guys (and gals) is there such a beast out there.

Need a decent Mobo with more than 4 Dimm slots, Socket 775 or at a push AM2.

I've seen pics of the MSI X38 Diamond with 6 Dimm slots, but in some other pics it only has 4. So i'm not sure if the 6 slot version was a pre-release board or what.

There definitely needs to be more boards around with more than 4 slots for the high-end users.

as far as AMD goes the only thing that springs to mind is Socket 1207 (F) Opteron

Tyan do the Tomcat h1000E (S3970G2N-U) which has 8 DDR2 Dimm slots.

click me for Tomcat h1000E (S3970G2N-U) specs

but as it's a server board i should imagine it's gonna be pricey & would probably be in the £175 - £300 price range

Just curious, why would you need more than 8Gb?

I have access to a bucket load of spare 512Mb sticks of ram for free !!!! So need more than 4 slots to use it all.

Members market, then buy 2gb sticks if you have the cash.
