the dirty souf
Hey guys, looking for a quick reply please.
Can you point me towards some motherboards stocked by OCUK that have four or more pcie slots. (x1 or greater will do)
Around the hundred quid mark too if possible.

Cheers.

EDIT: needs to be able to take a quad core CPU too ... not bothered whether AMD or intel.

Trying to develop an app which needs to access multiple PCIe x1 cards on the same system.

Very nice board, but a wee bit pricey perhaps. Would make a hell of a powerhouse though ... I wonder if they will make a version with more than one CPU slot. That would be the leet.

Thanks for all the replies ... 1 more question:
Are there >=5 pcie slots boards about that will handle 6 or more CPU cores.
A dual cpu slot server board for instance?
 
You can get 6 cores in a 980X on a 1366 motherboard.

But if you want to go dual socket then you need to look at Xeon or Opteron workstation motherboards.

But.. none that I know of with >=4 slots *yet*

EVGA has a board coming out soon with the codename 270-GT-W555 that will do it.

Otherwise these are what you are looking at for Intel

Tyan S7025AGM2NR has 4 x PCI-E 2.0 x16 @ £366
Supermicro X8DTH-IF has 7 x PCI-E 2.0 x16 @ £411
Supermicro X8DTH-6F has 7 x PCI-E 2.0 x16 @ £491 :eek:
 
EVGA Classified SR-2 Dual Xeon - 7 Slots
EVGA X58 Classified 4-Way SLI - 7 Slots
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD9 X58 - 7 Slots
MSI Big Bang-XPower X58 - 6 Slots
Asus Crosshair IV Extreme AMD 890FX - 5 Slots
 
And these...

Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H AMD 890GX
Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 AMD 890FX
Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 AMD 890FX
Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3 MA770
Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD3P AMD 790X
Asus M4A79XTD Evo (Socket AM3) DDR3

Oh, and a load more X58 boards - like almost all of them...

Is that still with your added condition of supporting a hex-core CPU? Cos if not, there's a whole bunch of 1156 mobos to add too.

Lol yeah - that's what people would normally be thinking of I guess - for GPUs. This guy is thinking of using pcie expansion slots for, like, something other than GPUs! Weird ;)

Nah, The requirement has changed a bit, so only four cores would be fine. Intel preferably too.

That's crazy talk... soon people will be using USB for items other than mouse and keyboards! /sarcasm

For multichannel video capture actually, so still kind of graphics related. Having more x16 slots would be useful though, a lot of that kind of software is able to utilise CUDA and the like.
