FOXCONN Launches BLACKOPS Intel X48 Enthusiast Motherboard

Seriously, just pass the cost on to the consumer. But the thing is, anyone buying a black ops is highly unlikely to not have enough money for a real sound card

One bit reads:

Meanwhile, the BoostSwitch header, conveniently located on the motherboard near the CPU socket, enables hardware selection of CPU clock speed without entering the BIOS.

Is this really more convenient than entering bios? Asks the, capital "N," noob overclocker.

Any idea when we can actually purchase this board ?

I wonder what does it have to do with this:


It's a panel connected to the motherboard that lets you monitor and set FSB (and probably lots of other things) in real-time. I saw Shamino adjusting FSB in-between 3DMark tests on Cebit.

Yikes! Never seen anything like that before.

Wild stuff. I'd love to see it in action.
