Hello,

I found a quad cpu motherboard. Somebody said it is made for servers. Does that mean that I cannot use it to build a PC? Are all the other parts detached in a motherboard in a normal PC?

Can you even afford 4 server grade cpu's?

Not for me If this a easy way to harness all the power in a reliable manner

it's just a fucking board retard you can build whatever you want out of it

servers aren't some enlightened alien technology, they're just like any other fucking PC, if you want to shove it in a case with some shitty gaymer GPU then fuckin go ahead, it sounds like you'll probably squander a multi-socket system anyway

xeons are cheap as fuck on the second hand market, cheaper than most "high end" consumer chips of the same caliber

What I saw they were all clearly under 1000$

You can still use it to build a PC (it's an x86-based platform after all), but there will be some limitations.

For example, consumer editions of Windows 7, 8, and 10 only support 2 physical CPUs. You could still boot those editions, but they will only use 2 physical CPUs.

You'd need the server editions of Windows to support 4 (or more) physical CPUs.

Thank you,
One obvious pitfall avoided.
