Hi everyone

which Supermicro motherboard would you recommend for the following requirements:

1) As cheap as possible and used at ebay ;-)

2) 8 Slots für 8GB ECC Reg DDRAM3 modules, so that motherboard fits 8 unbeaten cheap used server RAM modules that can be bought at ebay for prices that any other RAM modules cannot compete.

3) Despite point 2) which newest possible Intel (used) Xeon or iCore CPU would fit to this set of ECC RDDRAM3 combination (of course with suitable chipset and cpu socket)?

4) PCIe 16x for at least 1 Slot (for graphics card).

5) Additional to 4) optional PCIe 4x(for PCIe-SSD).

Thank you very much in advance for your recommendation

supermicro x9 series motherboards. E5 v2 series cpu's.
Something like this.
!NEW! Unopened Super Micro Motherboard LGA 2011 MBD-X9SRL-F-O 672042106127 | eBay

Then pick a compatible cpu based on price and performance.
The E5-2680 v2 is a fairly good price for the performance. You could go up to an E5-2690 or 2696/2697 but they are expensive for the extra performance.
Thanks - great deal on a brand new MBD-X9SRL-F-O. I paid this for a used one this summer.
