I would liek to know if there is a dual socket motherboard, that would support two AMD X2's?

(that's not a server)???

Not yet but Amd is pushing to have it done. It is called 4x4. It is predicted though that when dual socket mobo's hit the consumer market it won't use socet am2 but rather socket f. (Sockets they use in server/workstations)

You can do it with two opterons, and use standard parts like non ECC RAM, and even PCI Express x16 graphics on a nForce 4 Pro chipset. The problem is that the AMD X2 or any of the Athlon series is designed for multiprocessor. Processors have to be multicpu by design in order for them to work together. The only partially consumer level CPUs that do that are the Opteron (dual core models available too for 2x2), and Xeon (same).

There will dual, dual cores with 4X4 but their will never be a board that supports two AMD X2 socket 939 CPU's.

I'm not sure of the release date on AMD's 4x4.
