The Asus P9D WS is an ATX size, workstation-class motherboard for Intel's E3-1200 v3 family of Xeon processors. It features the Intel C226 chipset, 1600MHz ECC memory support, dual Intel gigabit Ethernet ports, PCI-Express 3.0, SATA 6Gbps, and USB 3.0. Three video outputs are provided for use with the Intel HD P4600 graphics built into most of the Xeon processors: DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort.
For expansion the P9D WS sports multiple PCI-Express slots, allowing for a wide range of add-in cards: graphics adapters, RAID controllers, and a host of other options. Two legacy PCI slots are included as well, in case older expansion cards are required. Overall this a well-rounded platform for building affordable workstation computers.

Jeff Stubbers (Tier 3 Consulting Lead) Says:
This is a very stable motherboard, and if you use the onboard video outputs, can support 3 monitors with its (1) DVI, (1) HDMI, & (1) DisplayPort outputs. So if you plan to use onboard video outputs, you would want to make sure your monitor(s) have compatible inputs.
