  The 2882's are more interesting in that they aren't missing 2 dimmn 
solts like the 2880.  Which is important if you are planning on using 
16G of memory or NUMA. The 2882 are just as much a pain in the ass as 
any other amd64 board.  Just be sure to use qualified dimmns and test 
the memory throughly even then.
