Now I can see why you got excited! Damn.....this is a nice effort, well done!

Now, how to get my hands on one of these boards with 2 chips...my old X7 DWAN a bit long in the tooth now....

Blah...

Happy New Year, Guyz, may it be a good one,!

Dave, will chat via PM, take care that side!

Cheers,

same pal, great to talk to you. Just was expecting a Aussie accent and had to do a "Oh yes, he's not from there" LOL

Now to everyone, not long after I did this review in June I had a heart attack. They put in 5 stents and shall we say it's been a long 5 months recuperating but I did get to test the top 12 core E5-2697 V2 Ivy Bridge xeons and also the top 8 core IB xeons, the E5-2687W V2's.
I have all the info and will put it together into part 2 of this review..
Teaser: As good as the 8 core SB chips are at 3612MHz the 8 and 12 core IB chips are simply awesome!
