EVGA SR-X 'Preview'

I hope they do release some multi unlocked Xeons. As this current crop are pointless for discussion in this forum!!!

The one thing I can't figure out with this board is the fact that one socket has 8 DIMM slots and the second has only 4...seems really strange to me.

I think it's both space limitations and hedging your bets.
Lets be honest, for the vast majority that would buy this board just 4 dimms per socket is plenty. 8x2gig or 8x4gig will take care of most peoples needs BUT you have those that will want more and thats why the 8 dimms on the first cpu.

Agreed but we've been limiting the discussion to cpu overclocking and since we'd all agree that EVGA and Vince aren't stupid I'm guessing there's things we just don't
know yet..I've reached the mindset of sit back and wait and see.;)

I do agree Movieman but its abit frustrating. With the X3960 the best strap not only for clocking CPU but also memory and overall system stability is 1.25. My Xeons dont boot at this strap at all!!! Very frustrating.

Assuming the E5-2600's are OC'able. I will be replacing my SR-2 setup.

Im sure like most on here, I have absolutely no need for this system. But I NEED IT!!!

Exactly! Any ideas of what the release date will be?

I think these are going to be a little more expensive than the x5600's though

Don't have a clue to release date but end of March is when the chips are supposed to go retail so that is probably when.
Yea, expensive..BUT then again anything in life worth buying is expensive.
One can drive from point A to point B in a Hundai or one can do it in a AC Cobra..
Which is the more enjoyable ride?:D
