I'm laughing right now.

I had to post this on Digg.

=="COUGH"==


1) A) there is no way at this time to run even two of 3870 X2 in crossfire, not even talking about 4X of those
B) also even if this board supports SLI it doesn't support triple SLI

2) and by next year we will definitely will see 8 cores, no this board will not support it.

3)do you guys forget that this is Xenon system with 771 socket? the only C2D that will support this board will be Core 2 Extreme QX9775 for no less then $1500 each!

4)and board itself going to cost at least $500! and how much do you think that memory going to cost you? plus FB-DIMM no where near as good as normal DDRII

5) you need at least 1.6kW to run this system with two 8800GTX in SLI, biggest PSU right now 1350W for ~$400+

Yes you can waist
$1500x2 C2D
$500 MB
$470x4 3870X2 (lack driver support)
$380x4 4G memory
$200~$500 PSU 1200W (need at least 1.6kW)
around $7000 without case/water-cooling/WD-Raptor/Drives/8LCDs/etc.


and I still can build PC under $2k that performs better that this.

you can run quad-SLI between two dual-GPU cards, so you could run two 9800gx2's

or 4 xfire cards...

wasn't QUAD SLI term for 7950GX2 where one card had two CPUs like 3870x2 now, you needed two of them, but driver support was suck, and pretty much felt like abandon project to me.
and now you can't run new ati 3870x2 in crossfire yet, because one card is like crossfire, and fresh out of testing labs and still have tons of bugs

if they made the bossfights more like molten core i think doing a 25man instance solo would be a good challenge.

Ordered

[rand]

16 Gigs of RAM.
4x 16 lane PCIe slots.

DO WANT!!!

or : http://www.apple.com/macpro/specs.html

with 32gb of ram =)

i have the first gen, 4 cores and runs 4 copies of wow easily.

[Aaeryl]

Well, it`s ordered :P
Looking forward to test it in action, damn cool!

I will try it (first) with 2x Intel Xeon E5355, 8 GB RAM and 3x Geforce 8800 Ultra Cards.
Hope it will rock ^^

But i`am not sure if this will be enough power for 25 wow instances..

[Vos]

3x Geforce 8800 Ultra Cards

1 and 2 in SLI and the 3rd for monitors 3 and or 4? or are you going with 6 monitors off of one mobo?
