with ZFS the primary driver isn't cpu, its "how many drives can one attach" :-) I use a 8 sata and 2 pata port http://supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron/nForce/H8DCE.cfm But there was a v20z I could steal registered ram and cpus from. H8DCE can't use the SATA HBA Framework which only supports Marvell 88SX and SI3124 controllers, so perhaps a 10 sata and 2 pata (14 drives!) http://www.amdboard.com/abit_sv-1a.html would be a better choice.
