What Mainboard would you recommend for 2 Xeons 5430 ?
Is Supermicro X7DWE ATX better than asus Z7S WS?

Or maybe TYAN but as I can see only Tempest i5400XT (S5396) supports windows and quad and I think it doesn't look like standard ATX.

I'm looking for ATX mobo that will fit into this case:
I got silverstone TJ09
 
I suggest you avoid the Z7S WS, the board suffers from a sudden death syndrome, (noted from XS) Have a look with the Intel board.
The dual LGA771s is a 'dying' platform, If you can wait for the new LGA1366 xeon's next month.

If the new Xeons are on the same socket, what's preventing you from running two i7s on the new chipset?
 
I believe bloomfield (i7 desktop) only has one QPI link.

edit: I'm waitting for the "skulltrial 2" board, if intel (foxconn) is making one.:rolleyes:
