That only supports 192 gig of RAM though.
Come here so I can slap you!

Crunch with us, the XS WCG team
The XS WCG team needs your support.
A good project with good goals.
Come join us,get that warm fuzzy feeling that you've done something good for mankind.
The "cheap" chips for it are just around $1400.00 each
The top ones are "I can buy a pretty decent car for this" type of money.
Then you NEED 16 sticks of memory..
Yea, close to $1600.00 for the memory for the minimum..
We priced one out a few weeks ago for laughs.
Top shelf your looking at $12-13K
Now about SkullTrail being expensive??
Oh, PSU: They make a special one for it..1200a..I think it's 120a on the +12 line..
Price out some of the Sun ultra high powered servers

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 doFinally, 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

...any?No, any socket 771 CPU will do
I read you need the Core 2 Extreme chips in the 771 variant.
And by the way, you obviously meant LGA 771.
The SkullTrail mobo isn't meant for just enthusiasts...any?

That's what I was hoping but for the workstation market, there are the Tyan/Supermicro Seaburg-based motherboards as well. Just like Skulltrail but lacking great oc options.The SkullTrail mobo isn't meant for just enthusiasts
Can you give me a link on that? I'd love to run two E5405 Xeons on a Skulltrail!
No link to it. Just a little bit of common sense

Meaning Xeon support is still up in the air (although iirc, I saw a video with 2 Harpertowns demoed in Skulltrail..)No link to it. Just a little bit of common sense
All the demo systems were 2 Harpertowns, up until the most recent ones at IDF, so it should

If it does, I'm on board!All the demo systems were 2 Harpertowns, up until the most recent ones at IDF, so it should
Although this just increased my build costs but $300...
That ain't expensive or anything lol

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?
I'm back....
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
It also has 4 PCIe x16 2.0 slots for Tri-SLI or CrossFire X

i think you have to hand out a set of new pants to everyone
Now let's remove FBDIMM part and we got a top notch system
P5E64_Evo/QX9650, 4x X25-E SSD - gimme speed..
amazingly fast speeds!
Just enthusiast minded dual LGA771 board with 5400 series chipset, does not require QX9775 to be called "skulltrail."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

Harpertown are LGA771 Yorkfields. The board will not take LGA775 CPU's.
All along the watchtower the watchmen watch the eternal return.
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$.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).

makes ~1000$ for a 8 core beast with 4 GB ram... not that expensive
i have no need for FB-dimmsregular ddr2 would be nice thankyouverymuch
Member of XS WCG since 2006-11-25
hehe.. i wasnt advicing to buy it.. i picked whats compatible with cheap dual s771 boards. was just trying to point out that the entry lvl pricing is rather low these days.i have no need for FB-dimms
but yep.. regular ddr2 would be the better choice.
