Dual CPU Socket Motherboard for AMD Phenom II X4 [closed]

I have my eyes on the AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz at NewEgg. I want to build me an 8 core machine. Is there any motherboards out there that will take 2 of these AMD beasts? The best thing I can find so far is this, which has only one socket... Thanks in advance for any tips.

"This is a workstation we are discussing?
Do look up questions like CPU Cores: The more the better? and the likes before you make your call.

Also, take a look at the Related questions on this page, right column...

Regarding your comment on Nehalem, I have not done an analysis against present AMD platforms,
But you could do that based on my references at
Does the Intel i7 offer real improvement over it’s predecessors?

I have a feeling it has an advantage over present generation AMD.
But, that is just a feeling, not an analysis.
It would become a very heated and subjective discussion if raised here."

If you want to use multiple AMD processors, you need an Opteron that supports Socket F.
