there aren't a lot of choices. One that works well is the AMI
Goliath. But note it is a big board and needs a special case to
match up with the PCI/etc slots...
Also this MB is fairly pricey, and they don't make it easy for you
to add processors as the Goliath I had special little 'daughter
cards' to hold each processor. I have heard, but not seen, that the
newer Goliath II just has 4 ZIF sockets for the cpus... Although you
need voltage regulator modules...
You might visit AMI's web site for info. I haven't seen any other
quad boards. I looked _everywhere_ January a year ago, and wound up
buying a complete system (no disks or memory, just chassis, MB and
power supply) from ALR because of the price of the Goliath back
then.
