Seeking Advice: Dual Xeon System

Hi,

I am in the market for a dual xeon system and was wondering if the new
800Mhz chipsets can take the old 533Mhz bus chips?? Can anyone recommend
some good motherboards for xeons?? I am interested in the NCT-D from ASUS.

Thanks,

Regards,
Webster

Why a dual Xeon system? Why not a dual Opteron system instead?
Are you thinking about a dual 64 bit Xeon system? Take a look
at this comparison of a single 64 bit Xeon compared to a
single Opteron running 64 bit software.
