The top rung is this one: http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron6000/SR56x0/H8QG7-LN4F.cfm Quad socket G34, up to 64 cores and 1TB RAM, 16 DDR3 channels up to 192GB/s, on-board LSI MegaRAID 9265-8i w/1GB cache, quad Intel GbE, two PCIe 2.0 x16 slots and two x8, etc. Of course any system using this board won't rely on the on-board LSI for main storage. It's primarily for boot/OS RAID. -- Stan
