Anyone knows if there are DDR2 AM2/AM2+ Boards with 8x DDR2 Slots ?

Thank you

Matthias

I don't even think that's possible.

It's possible, but it would have to be a dual-CPU board. You'd have 4 memory slots = 2 channels per CPU.

I don't know if an actual AM2/DDR2 equivalent exists, but here's one with socket C32/DDR3 (ASUS KCMA-D8)

(edit) I can't find any actual dual AM2 motherboards; you may have to look for socket F or socket L motherboards instead (the server equivalent of AM2), those were made with up to 4 CPU sockets and 16 memory slots.

The generational equivalent is Socket F.

AM2/AM2+ motherboards only have 2/4 DDR2 slots afaik, the server equivalent (Socket F) can have more RAM slots, up to 16 slots in a dual CPU mobo (8 slots per socket). In dual CPU mobos, you need to add 2 CPUs if you want to use all RAM slots
