You can also look at something like a Compaq Proliant 5500 (I think!) that can go as high as 4 Xeon CPU's and 8GB of SDRAM. I just don't know if it has a 64 bit PCI slot in it, however. Also check the 10 options that come up when you specify "quad" in the mainboard section of Price Watch. You have choices from Intel, SuperMicro and American Megatrends. In fact, the SuperMicro S2QR6 board comes with a built in U160W SCSI controller. For a mere $2600...
