That;s overkill for most, but a nice option, especially with vista x64. I hope it doesn't reinforce the fact that tri-channel ram would be limited to 6 gigs (unless they produce GOOD 4 gig sticks).
*IIRC* its cause they will be using a single *side* of a RAM stick as a channel.. so side1 = channelA, side2 = channelBQuote:

One single channel for debugging and or 3 for everything else. I doubt they could run 4 sticks without screwing up something.Quote:

If you want to add another stick, it will work just fine just like if you were to fill only 3 slots on a present day board. Makes it so that one slot just isn't interleaved with anything. There's not really room on a good ATX board with the new larger socket to fit 6 slots without cramming some other components close together. I'm sure some of the other board makers will get creative with layout and find a good way to wedge them in.
Isn't that called "bank"?Quote:

Here's the Dual Core version with all 12 slots.

With a grain of salt, I'm told QPI will be 2GHz.Quote:
Specifications of the CPU: Nehalem A1(CPU Frequency 1Ghz ,QPI Frequency 1.66Ghz, Superpi 1M run 3min..)
Another Nehalem board.

hmm the heatsink on the northbridge is really small, i like that. :)
lol - that CPU fan looks comical :rofl:
it makes me giggle too, I guess it's a good thing THAT doesn't end up hitting the market (usually)
That chipset/NB must be cool runner.
It's a bit harder with the larger socket. you do free up some possibilities by not having to be close to the NB, so it can be done.Quote:

firstly... PCI-X X-FI cards
http://www.custompc.co.uk/news/60259...announced.html
PCI it going out like the PS/2 ports for KB and mouse... please believe me...
secondly... this... x58 board as they call it was suppose to have 6-dimms... as you can tell in the second power point slide theres 6 memory modules...
thirdly... I was told that the lga 1633 mobos would have 2 sockets.. not sure why movieman is making a joke about it... I really dont understand...
fourthly... if this thing gets released with 2 sockets and 6 dimms... im buying it... i dont care if it costs 500 bucks... i got 10k in student loans sittin in da bank and i'd rather buy a new sweet computer finally then a coach or plasma TV which i was going to do with the money... and i haven't upgrade my computer in 5 years... yes since 10th grade... im now third year of college... stupid p4... and i read the WCing section and have dreams of making the ultimate WCing setup and being able to ACTUALLY upgrade every 6 months to a year like most of you rather then waiting another 5 year... i'm an xtreme hobbiest but im only xtreme on my friends' computers... not my own yet... :(
BTW i got my information about 2 sockets from here:
http://www.dailytech.com/Smack+all+O...rticle9886.htm
please correct me if i stated anything wrong... that guy being called an idiot is one of the many reasons I choose to not reply often...
thanks,
mo
have you been in the forums lately??? this would have been a great line for 5 years ago:rofl:Quote:

Smackover it is, but the 1-socket system might actually run games faster if anything. NUMA didn't do QuadFX much good on games.
If you're gonna play 3DMark though, all is fine.
Technically, a student loan may be used for whatever you wish. Of course it has to have something to do with your studies, and the interest rate might be terrible when you complete college.Quote:

Gotta agree on the 32MB Raptor...bad mistake by WD, hell they should have thrown 64MB into the mix to be different and have bragging rights!
So what are the timelines for this? And will LGA775 waterblocks fit...
