Nehalem boards will include SLI support

[Donnie27]

I've had many dual cpu systems and the thing that's always held them back is the ram.. now I've got a quad core that blows those systems out of the water. the only way I'll go back to a dual cpu setup is if it can use unbuffered ram in all the slots. That extra cost of the dual cpu setups isn't worth it I'd rather use a quad cpu setup. besides in a year a single cpu setup will smoke Skulltrail.

Look, I'm not saying I like the idea of being limited to FBDIMM. I'm not sucking up to MovieMan when I say; "If MovieMan likes it, then I like it". Honestly though, I know of no one using it who's complaining about anything. most are blown away. I agree, I'd much rather see at least registered DDR2. Note, these systems aren't for those with lite wallets unless they're testers or something.

NVIDIA looks at a quick-fix solution to offer SLI support for the upcoming LGA-1366 motherboards

All of their damm chipsets are quick-fixes, aka: crap hashed together.

DP Nehalem will be able to run unregistered DDR3, no fretting.

I'm sorry, but this seems to have gotten lost, or am I missing something :


Nvidia got a license for Nehalem-based chipsets? :o
Or is that bs

Sources hints NVIDIA have already got Intel QPI license, but they won’t hush to unveil any high end mobo, because it is already too late since X58 is just around the corner of 08′Q4. The company did not expect too much high end user will choose the high end Bloomfield CPU when it is still in the early stage.

Again, they'll either license to each other or just buy from one another. It seems Intel wouldn't just give them a license for free while paying them anything.

Yes, I heard ECC DDR3 but not Registered..

Don't know what thread it was in, but yes Blau I do/did stand corrected.
