BTW, I'm staring at a couple Bloomfields, but no boards to run em.

You bring the chips, I'll find the boards..All I have seen first hand are the Bloomfields. I don't have any hard data on the others.

You find me a WORKING board that can boot these, to keep, and I'll give you one.You bring the chips, I'll find the boards..
No joke.
Nice deal I must say
Friends shouldn't let friends use Windows 7 until Microsoft fixes Windows Explorer (link)
You might want to change your sig, I think we have members from Italy hereNice deal I must say
So who wants to guess how much the X58 Asus Maximus will be

Mmm, I don't care?You might want to change your sig, I think we have members from Italy here

dont worry next game he will see plenty pics of russians.You might want to change your sig, I think we have members from Italy here

hmm i dont think X58 will cost more then current top of the line enthusiast mobos.
250-300€ max. (maybe some über limited special editions will go beyond the 300/350€ mark)

And how many diddly bobs will it have? Maybe it will come with an add-in soundcard the size of an 8800GTX and a glow-in-the-dark bobbing head doll on the northbridge cooler.You might want to change your sig, I think we have members from Italy here

I want something simple and clean this time.. I'm tired of all these ultra-expensive 'enthusiast' boards that really offer little but trinkets. What happened to affordable boards crammed with actual useful features?

Do you dare do that!! That pic is beatiful plus revenge is sweet - Buffon from hero to villan!You might want to change your sig, I think we have members from Italy here
I would expect Bloomfield boards to cost less than P45 boards... the X58 chipset is actually much simpler and should therefore cost much less than a P45 chip. It all depends on how Intel prices it of course.

The components for the rest of the board will be pretty much the same except for the socket.
The only added complexity is the triple channel DDR3 which early reports indicated might require an 8-layer PCB however, I expect by launch the boards will be back to 6-layers. An added benefit of DDR3 is in-flight compensation for trace-length delay so the constraints on equalizing trace lengths for DDR3 are not as strict as they were for DDR2 giving board manufacturers more flexibility with regards to layout which should allow them to maintain 6-layer PCB's in spite of the dramatic increase in traces to route.
All of this won't stop ASUS from trying to soak early adopters however!
Sure if there are 51, 52 and 55's. Users in this market made all the manufacturers confident in overcharging for the motherboards. X58 will be priced higher than X48 and yes I hope I'm wrong. Then there will also be something like a X55 that falls in-between the mid and high end products.I would expect Bloomfield boards to cost less than P45 boards... the X58 chipset is actually much simpler and should therefore cost much less than a P45 chip.

Count the number of people who recognize them and cry on the spot.
You are 2 mins from being permabanned from XS for that statement!Punch a hole in them and wear them in a necklace at some geek convention.
