I doubt you'll find an AM2 motherboard that supports large amounts of RAM if you can find one at all, they are obselete. The memory controller is built into the CPU and AM2 CPU's can only control DDR2 memory.
The 2011 socket i7 has huge bandwidth to the memory. That is the sort of chip I put into CAD/Mapping machines. It will be the fastest for heavy calculations. It's not all about CPU speed and loads of RAM these days, the amount of data you can move in/out of memory is also important as is hard drive speed.
