The one thing I can't figure out with this board is the fact that one socket has 8 DIMM slots and the second has only 4...seems really strange to me.
I think it's both space limitations and hedging your bets.
Lets be honest, for the vast majority that would buy this board just 4 dimms per socket is plenty. 8x2gig or 8x4gig will take care of most peoples needs BUT you have those that will want more and thats why the 8 dimms on the first cpu.

Agreed but we've been limiting the discussion to cpu overclocking and since we'd all agree that EVGA and Vince aren't stupid I'm guessing there's things we just don't
know yet..I've reached the mindset of sit back and wait and see.
