Skulltrail is only available with LGA771 CPUs (QX9775, not Core i7 965 Extremes - they're LGA1366 and won't even fit in the socket) and FB-DIMMs, not DDR3. Skulltrail is a server board that's marketed as a gaming board.. just info to be aware of.Quote:

but doesnt skulltrail have more potential power and überness if paired with the hardware
Because it uses two quad cores Xeons at 3.2GHz, yes.. but it can't have "the best core extremes" because the best CPUs available (Core i7 965 Extreme) aren't in LGA771 socket form. The time to buy Skulltrail was long before Core i7 / X58 boards came out. The Skulltrail platform hasn't gone down in price at all, and the competition is better now than it was a year ago.Quote:

Well ... if 24G is more important then CPU power and bandwidth maybe. CPU power is not important for WoW. Bandwidth is but having all of wow in ram is also big plus.
Skulltrain will get you the memory you need, but DDR2 (which is cheap), without all the problems you are talking about for the I7.
Again I say wait untill I7 boards are stable with 24G then spend yur monies. Just buy some temp system to get you by for 6 months or so. Who knows AMD isnt going to let Intel have a 900 percent lead in memory bandwidth forever maybe their platform will be close and cost effective.
Hey check this out:

System Memory
Since each Tesla C1060 has 4GB of GPU memory, we recommend 4GB of system memory per Tesla C1060. So, for a 3x Tesla C1060 system, include at least 12 GB of system memory and for 4x Tesla C1060 system, configure with 16GB of system memory.
Most of the motherboards have only 4 DIMM slots, therefore you should use 4GB DDR2 DIMMs to get 12GB or 16GB of system memory (4GB DDR3 DIMMs are currently not broadly available).

You know you could get a 16G skulltrain for now then upgrade later: MB $500

16G ddr2 ram is only not much $340

Get just ONE CPU for it.... what another $250 or so.
Bingo yur temp system is skulltrain lol
i couldn'tfind this on the nvidia site or on google so
is it possible to run with 2 tesla's and 2 Quardro NVS 450's ?
Dude.. it's called SkulltraiL. :)Quote:

I guess if yur motherboard supports, well I think you need like 4 PCI slots.
I am sure that 1 telsa is more then sufficient, remember there is probably no software that will use its full capacity yet, I guess I dont know.
Anyway it just depends how many fast PCI slots you have.
Dont forget these systems are like $8000 (but that 3 telslas).
then take the very same program and run it on a personal supercomputer built around $1,699 Tesla C1060 boards or on a four-teraflop 1U Tesla S1070 server. You don't need to know how many cores are available: you just have to tell the executive about the parallelism of your data.
For embarrassingly parallel problems, for example digital tomography, an under-$10,000 Tesla personal supercomputer can beat a $5 million Sun CalcUA. Does that apply to other problems? It depends, of course, on whether they are inherently parallel.
i think i'm just gonna wait for some BIOS updates ... but thne i'd have to upgrade my temp rig ... a sucky Medion Akoya P34592 (MD 8393) bought in Aldi
but the video card really sucks ... so i'd have to upgrade it...
what
and my choice is GTX295 or GTX 285 ?
I'm only going to use 2 screens
i was thinking of the Intel Core 2 Extreme™s and those i believe fits in LGA771 socketsQuote:
