Why are you looking for a dual socket mobo? What's wrong with server or workstation mobos? They offer the same features as any other dual socket mobo.

Because servers mobos does not support dual gpus and 1366 socket does not have SATA3 and USB 3 support while evga classified has everything what i need, but price is way too hight.

There are plenty of ws mobos that support dual gpus. What is this pc going to be used for? What cpus? It doesn't make sense to buy such an old 1366 mobo unless it's used. Sata 3 and usb 3 can be added with cards.

For three things server, game server and gaming platform.

You may get a better price to performance with a single cpu especially if you are looking at new parts. But that depends on total budget. You could get a better value used but you wouldn't be able to game very well on older hardware. Also some games will just not play on dual cpus without issues.

Well it runs my current cpu is AMD Phenom Ii x4 965 BE with Asus M4A77T

What cpus were you looking at? What is your budget?

Well i have 2x intel xeon x5670 and asus z8pe-D12(coming soon) many people suggested this mobo for decent performance, but recently noticed about Evga Classified SR-2, which would be perfect, but its damm expensive.

So that's about a $300 budget. You won't really find anything better for that low budget other than those older westmeres. You won't benefit from multiple gpus anyways as they are old and a bit weak cpus for a single modern gpu.

Weak cpu's? Do your homework son. These xeons overclock like madness.
