Confusing how this too is an X58 chipset, as Intel locked desktop chipsets from being used in workstations after the whole i875 joke. Now they bring them back together again? Next generation the desktops CPU's are allowed to run in dual socket systems as well like in the P3 days? Strange, I guess time will explain it all better.
