ASUS recently released their Z8 series of server motherboards ranging in price from $260 to $550. This series features the Intel 5500 IOH and ICH10R chipsets plus a variety of options ranging from PCI-X support to SAS storage options. The first one to arrive in the labs is the Z8NA-D6C, which is their base board designed for the dual socket server or workstation market. The board features an ATX layout and support for SSI or ATX power supplies for those on a budget. The full run down on the specifications is listed below. Oh, did we mention the price? The Z8NA-D6C is going for $260 right now, not bad for an entry level dual socket server board when paired up with a couple of E5520 Nehalem 2.26GHz or E5504 2GHz 80W processors.

    This is probably the worst untruthful, offensive, extremely arrogant, false shit given out by an Intel fanboy I've ever seen.

    Phenom II is a great processor for its price range. $190 for a Phenom II 940 that beats most Core 2s at that range is pretty amazing. you can't compare i7 to Phenom II, it's a different price range entirely.
