| 662025 | 2008-04-24 03:10:00 | ""Firing up a borrowed copy of Crysis, the latest and greatest first-person PC shooter which is notorious for bringing even the most powerful PCs to their knees, the Skulltrail barely broke a sweat as I blasted my way through the games first levels."" What a load of drivel, seems like this article was written by the PR department at Intel. Yes I concur, Anandtech for some reason has been doing alot of reviews using this board......silly thing is, the Quad core board are a better bet as they use DDR3 RAM, this thing is using high latency FBDimms, like my servers...... I believe Anand use this because it will do crossfire & SLI on the same platform. |

| 662026 | 2008-04-24 03:10:00 | FOUR high-end graphics cards at least! :eek: WHY? But the mb only supports a max of 8GB RAM (that's only 1GB per core!) Would've thought at least 16 :lol: www.youtube.com |

| 662028 | 2008-04-24 03:28:00 | I'll rephrase me earlier droolage. That would be a nice machine for rendering off video. And some more RAM would be good, like 2GB per core. |

| 662029 | 2008-04-24 04:12:00 | www.youtube.com nice system, but what the heck is that aussie saying at ~2min point? "All I can say is quad SLI is woot and Crysis is woot" ? |

| 662031 | 2008-04-24 06:12:00 | Thanks, that makes alot more sense than what I thought he said :) | Deathwish (143) | ||
| 662032 | 2008-04-24 06:15:00 | And seriously....He really did whoop Crysis... I mean that is sweet rendering power man. But would anyone REALLY spend like $4-5000 on a pc? Quad SLI is overkill man.... |

Quad SLI is overkill man.... There are people that spend $3,000. Laptops for that same high end could be up to $5,000. One of my laptops wasn't fast, builtin video, just above avg CPU cos it was a portable (ultra) design valued at $4,500 which I bought it 1yr used for $2,500. Doesn't appliance stores sell some family PCs (specd) for around $4,500? |

| 662034 | 2008-04-24 06:20:00 | Check this out (www.nzherald.co.nz) If you can afford it, (or if you own the power company), this supports dual QUAD core (LGA 771 not LGA 775), so up to 8 CPU cores But be prepared to pay around $1150 just for the mobo. The ram is also different to normal DDR ram, so will cost a lot more And it may need a 1200 W PSU :cool: I'm not even a gamer and I'm impressed by that review :thumbs: Only thing Pat missed was the price for the whole setup rather than just the mother board. Doesn't appliance stores sell some family PCs (specd) for around $4,500? That would be a fairly average price at the higher end for Hardly Normals although its not even the top end. |
