The only retail motherboard that shows up on AMD's site as "AMD
Approved" is the MSI K8D.

Someone else found a priceline hit for this at $482.  (Thats without
the opterons or dram.)  While that price is better than a $10k newisys
box, it is still not going to be cheap once one adds 2 opterons and
dram.
