System Specs

I know why they blurred it out (to prevent too much info getting leaked), but why not just crop it down to what needs to be looked at? All they have done is made people speculate about the memory. I don't give a **** about the memory. I am on a Bloomfield Core i7 and I am STILL on dual channel and not once have I been begging for more bandwidth. I know there are people who care, but let's not talk about that. I want to see the CPU for cripes sake! That's the real hero here, not some piece of pre-release PCB.

My suspicions are not by much. I'd suspect it would maybe have more SATA/USB and a slightly faster PCI-e bus, but I doubt it'll wipe the floor with P67. I am willing to bet they will be interchangeable if someone was nutty enough (not pin for pin, but someone could be crazy enough to make LGA2011 work on P67). Just a guess anyways.
