Can anyone point me to a list of motherboards that'll run the new single-socket barcelona opterons? In particular i'm looking for something I can use an Opteron 1352 in, workstation use.

Thanks!

I have a similar interest but am unable to find anything concrete. When searching for a motherboard for my present second generation Opteron the understanding at that time was the promised AM2 quad cores would also be compatible with those recommended boards. I eventually used an Opteron 1216/ Supermicro H8SMI-2-0 motherboard combination and had no problems. I plan to swap the 1216 for a 1352 in the near future.

This link suggests the 1352 is supported.

It is not expressly supported by Gigabyte, but I know that the GA-MA69GM-S2H does work with both a 1354 and 1356. I have used it with both, but you need the latest BIOS (F4 or F5).

For a true server board, I would choose Tyan:

I also have a 1354 and 1356 running on a GA MA78GM-S2H and a GA-MA78GPM-DS2H with no issues.

Again, I don't believe that they are on the supported list, but both are working fine.
