LGA775 + dual PCIe x16 slots + Intel Gigabit Ethernet LAN

[Ozo]

I would need a board that have these characteristics:

1. Two PCI-Express graphics slots at full speed, i.e. 16x or 8x.
2. LGA 775 socket for Pentium D support
3. Onboard "Intel" LAN controller (Gigabit or 100MBit) - no Marvel or
nVidia

I can not find anything like that from any manufacturer, not even from
Intel. Can someone tell me if such a motherboard exists (from any
manufacturer)? Or anything similar that would be released soon?

Thanks,

Ozo.

Looked at this one? Has what you want (SLI mode and LGA775) with both Intel
and Nvidia GbitLAN controllers.

Teach _me_ to make blanket statements. That looks like a nice board.

Careful, the Intel Gbit LAN is on the PCI bus, according to the specs. That
could be a bottleneck. They should be on PCI-E or integrated in the
northbridge.

Can't be integrated with the nforce4--that would mean nvidia licensing the
cell from Intel, which would add to the cost of the chipset. Would be nice
if nvidia had a nice block diagram on the Web page showing how the pieces
on their chip fit together--if the NIC is the only high-volume device on
the PCI bus it shouldn't be a problem, if the disks are on the PCI bus too
then it becomes a bottleneck.

It's interesting that having rammed PCI Express down our throats, Intel
isn't showing any NICs with PCI Express.
