Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad Mobos
Hi, Does anyone know of any motherboards at the moment that have twin CPU sockets for Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad (apart from for Xenon CPUs)

If not, what Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad motherboards are people currently using?

Not sure about twin sockets but I'm using an ASUS P5B Deluxe with my e6600 and it's been rock solid. Great board.

The regular Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad are not SMP enabled. You have to resort to their Xeon brothers for that.

As for regular one socket mobos I have just installed a couple of Abit P35 Pro with a Quad 6600 and 8GB memory (4x2GB) each. The DAVideoW has dual ATI HD2900XT (512MB each) in a crossfire config and the other machine a lowly ATI 2400, as it functions as a file / VMware server, but if need be it could perform Workstation and rendering tasks as well as the DAVW.
