I'm comparing the two Intel Motherboards to two SuperMicro Motherboards, and not just the price but
mainly the board support; Switching Pwr Phase, North and or South bridge, RAM
speed and amount, etc.

Next will be which CPU to use, study, then on to the RAM spec's

Looking for inputs for both styles

Intel BOXDX48BT2, X48 775

Supermicro MBD-C2SBX X48

You do realize those boards aren't exactly for overclocking, right? Supermicro boards are more server/workstation class.

where did ya read that these MB don't over clk, which they can and Supermicro MB are not just for server/workstation, they do make for a very nice all around puter.
I am looking for someone that knows both types well enough to supply info on real time to failure on these newer boards and or overall value
BTW ya had a supermicro mb ya didn't like
