Finally, some news of skulltrail. Tri SLI support ist the best news I heard this year, at last we can build SLI systems w/o using crappy nv chipsets :)
But... do you really need QX CPUs?
No, any socket 771 CPU will do ;)Quote:

And by the way, you obviously meant LGA 771 :p: .
The SkullTrail mobo isn't meant for just enthusiasts ;) It's supposed to appeal to the workstation market as well, and they really don't need QX9775's.Quote:

No link to it. Just a little bit of common sense :up:Quote:

That ain't expensive or anything lolQuote:

I'm a total noob, can someone explain what Skulltrail is? I thought it was a dual CPU platform (for gaming???)
Is Fugger using 1 or 2 penryns?
SkullTrail is a dual socket, dual quad core, enthusiast platform. It features 2 QX9775 LGA771 Yorkfield (really Harpertown) CPUs running at 3.2ghz. It can use regular Harpertowns too ;)Quote:

i think you have to hand out a set of new pants to everyone:p:Quote:

amazingly fast speeds!
Just enthusiast minded dual LGA771 board with 5400 series chipset, does not require QX9775 to be called "skulltrail."Quote:

Great, thanks for clearing that up folks. Now only "problem" remaining is the use of FB-DIMMs. They don't clock well...
Now, here`s me, a little guy dreaming of a time of new "BP6" (still brings back memories of building the beast with 2x300Mhz celerons@ 2x450Mhz). Now can some manyfacturer please make us all a cheap dual socket that can take cheap memory/cheap quads and OC like a bat out of hell? Is it really too much to ask? ;)
you can get a dual socket 771 board for ~200 - 300$, 2x E5405 Quadcore Xeons for 250$ each (if you can find them in stock somewhere) and 4 GB Ram (2x2 GB FB-DIMMS) for 250$.Quote:

i have no need for FB-dimms :) regular ddr2 would be nice thankyouverymuch
