Windows 7 / XP * Anime = X
kureshii:
And why would anyone seriously install Windows 7 Home on a server... o.O
Even if for some reason you do need Windows on a server, I'm sure there's a Server edition without artificial restrictions for that. So server boards aren't even a consideration for Win7 installation.
(And besides, if you can afford server hardware, I doubt the license cost will mean much to you.)
Kuroshima:
Sorry sorry, I'm posting from phone. I'll be more specific.
Goroshi-sama:
too bad I dont have Win7
but my friend has it and did you know:
-if you have the CCCP codecs you can watch anime on windows media player.. and its definitely better than the MPC or at least what I've seen on my friend's computer..
thats one of the reasons why I want Win7..
Neco:
I have zero problems with CCCP and MPC Home Cinema on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate

You way underestimate what the Enthusiast consumer will do.. I mean these are people that will pay $500+ for a Video card. Buy those insanely priced new CPU releases that can go up to $1,000, etc. Buying a $500 motherboard wouldn't mean anything to them if they wanted it.
ECC aside, there's nothing wrong with using a server mobo if you can get the performance you want out of it. What OS you use doesn't even come into the equation as for as what motherboard to buy.
I'm not quite sure what point you were trying to make though.. Someone mentioned that they didn't know of any 32GB motherboards, so I just posted a link to some.
Still they have 24GB Intel mobos on the consumer market, and on the AMD side, ECS (roflcopterskates) claims 32GB support on their Phenom board (although only tested to 8GB).
There are plenty of benefits beyong 8GB of RAM. Mainly if you like to use RAM Drives for fast access of data where the performance shows a real benefit. I won't pretend I know what most people use them for on a serious level, however.
