Hi!
I'm building a server right now, but I came up with some things that I quite don't know.
The first thing is that I found that most motherboards for servers are with dual proccessor slots, plus 2x 4-Slot RAMs.
Two proccessors cost a lot, so is there a way to make a server without two proccessors or does the server work if I put only one proccessor or maybe there is a single proccessor motherboard?
I would like to put this CPU http://products.amd.com/en-us/OpteronCPUDetail.aspx?id=490&f1=&f2=&f3=&f4=&f5=&f6=&f7=&f8=&f9=&f10=&f11=& but maybe there is a better one for the money? Or maybe should move to Intel?
What else should I need for a server?
