=="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.
