I am looking to build a server with a minimum of 15 GB of ram, and put a dual or quad-core processor, which might cost me around $500. I want to know the best motherboard or server in general that would be best for this. PC's are not servers! Not REAL servers, that is. PC's can usually hold a max of maybe 8GB ram. I want a server that can potentially hold up to hundreds of GB ram in the future. Anyone have any ideas? And, I'm trying to spend less than $1000. Keep in mind I don't care if parts are used or not. this must be a really old post!

I'm used to Intel, which has (almost always) been able to run Dual-Channel.<br /> AFAIK, Dual-Channel is more or less useless on a server, where size matters more?<br /> Thanks for the heads-up.

AFAIK, Dual-Channel is more or less useless on a server, where size matters more?

Dual-channel is a socket 939-only feature. Hi, just a note, your socket 754 motherboard and CPU will not be able to run its RAM in dual-channel mode. Dual-channel is a socket 939-only feature.
