They aren't. They've been freely available since the early 90's at least.

YEs they are to me, "Mr average Joe" as you call me. When the latest Hottest chip comes out in a Dual format, To me that is FANTASTIC, Why are you so obscurly negatgive" we are only having soem fun with some cutting edge boards. :confused:

As for the next "skulltrail", as in Intel's successor to the D5400XS "skulltrail" motherboard, it is going to be a little different. It is speculated that the board will carry a Lucid-Hydra chip, so you could drop in any combination of graphics cards. Intel is doing the way same with the next version of DX58SO "smackover" too. None of the boards in the OP are skulltrail. It's like calling every monster-truck Bigfoot.

their intelect is unfathomable to us. much like if we were to see them in person we would probably die by veiwing their aura alone.

everyone was like aw i need to get a dual socket board for the last set of quad intels and i hardly see anyone with them

its just server grade boards easily available already

servers have got that much ram already, i dont get it this would set you back a few grand at least to deck out

You didn't get it right with the OP in the first place, saying "the new skulltrail" and posting pics of several Nehalem-EP (and one AMD QuadFX) motherboards, why should I care more about the Bigfoot argument's accuracy?

I'm not negative, I'm just stating that these are server/workstation boards that offer nothing special like Skulltrail did. Hence a comparison is just wrong.
Besides, I did not call you average Joe, I just stated that average Joe calls everything Skulltrail nowadays which I consider great marketing by Intel. Specially considering everybody complained about Skulltrail.

Heey, I will just shut up and hope someone can post a cool picture of a QUAD Nehalem or AMD board,

now you be talking my language. Peace DTB and BT

BrooksyX · Feb 16, 2009

What chipset do these boards use? x58 I am guessing or has a new chipset that supports i7 been added?

Castiel · Feb 16, 2009

Looks pretty sweet. Can't wait to see some results on these boards.

Exavier · Feb 16, 2009

It's a good time to pick one up.

That quad is cheaper than some high-end single socket boards

The downside is that you would need to use 8000-series processors. I don't think any of the Shanghai's are under $1000, but some of the Barcelona models are under $500.

Also, you can deck this motha out with 64GB (16 x 4GB) for under $1500 :eek:

Not too shabby.
