HRMM - didn't know this was out - though it would be awesome w/ skulltrail boards
That's actually not a Wolfdale. Newegg has it mislabeled. It's a 1600MHz Harpertown.
Wow, that's a bad mislabel.
Here's the info on the chip.

good - I was kinda freaking out I though that wolfdales are s775 only and I was thinking I was just behind on the Intel intel for once :DQuote:

Actually I think they are right this time.Quote:

Okay, my eyes are failing me. At first I thought it said "X5472". This is the 1600MHz Wolfdale that I read about awhile back. It's still socket 771, however.
Just had a thought.. The complaint has always been that 8 cores are overpowering the FSB on the dual socket boards.Quote:

Thoughts?
they're all the same chip, just in how they socket them. Intel only makes 2 chips. Penryn 6mb and Wolfdale 3mb. hehe
The 5400 chipset has a dual independent bus and better bandwidth than the 5000X. The problem is the price. Two 1600MHz Wolfdales are going to cost over $2000. That's a lot to pay for four cores.Quote:

Yes, and I see the VGA port on the I/Opanel,I just like a vid card myself.Quote:

Of course if that board and chips showed up at my door I wouldn't complain..:D
what are all these slots on that Nehalem board. PCI e 8x ? (or 4x ?)
What's the purpose of that?
