DUAL XEON MBs with PAXVILLE, WOODCREST and CLOVERTOWN CPUs

Tyan Tempest i5000PW S5382WAG2NRF


The S5382 is one of the biggest ones of them all.  This megaboard sports 16 DIMM slots, SAS, 1394, and seven usable expansion slots.  Ideal for servers requiring massive amounts of memory, the S5382 can also be used as a solid workstation platform for tasks which can take advantage of several gigs of memory:
