    yes, but you would be using half the available memory bandwidth of the 4 channel controller, and it will perform worse then a normal S775 board and not overclock as well.

    can you use 1 CPU and 4 sticks of RAM for the full benefit?

    I believe so, but even then it will still be slower and less overclockable then a comparable single socket platform. The power of these machines stems from the large ammount of stable computational bandwidth, you effectively cut that in half by only useing one socket. Each socket alone is somewhat less speedy then a single socket platform, mostly due to the need to buffer all memory transactions, but together they add up.

    For the millionth time, no.
    SkullTrail is socket 771, meaning only socket 771 Xeons will work.

    QX9775 is actually the CPU that is "recommended"

    QX9770 is socket 775.

    Oh and another thing - can this support Quad-SLI with dual-slot coolers (aka GTX/Ultra/GX2)? I though it was supposed to but I don't see how it could fit.

    How wide is that board?
    In short, both AMD and NVIDIA discovered that their next-generation graphics cards are superior to each others' last-generation graphics cards.

    Will the FB-DIMMS be running ECC automatically since this is based on the server chipset?
