| 662015 | 2008-04-24 01:48:00 | 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: |

| 662016 | 2008-04-24 02:10:00 | Yeah LGA771 is going to be the new server based socket for Xeon processors. Complete waste of money. LGA715 is going to be the new desktop socket for people wondering :) Best thing about it is it will be incorporating on-die memory controllers much like AMD has since Athlon days. |

| 662017 | 2008-04-24 02:13:00 | Wow, what OS do you use on this monster to make use of all that super sexy hardware? O_O On a side note, what an awesome CPU score. Thats more than my entire system :( But isn't the 3dmark '06 score (~17k) a little low for a system like that? I suppose the reviewer like most of us, just didn't have a few identical graphics cards lying around. | Deathwish (143) | ||

| 662019 | 2008-04-24 02:44:00 | Linux :D Fantastic. You have an OS which can take advantage of the hardware, but isn't capable of handling the latest games. I suppose you could use it for 3D movie effects rendering though... |

What a load of drivel, seems like this article was written by the PR department at Intel. |

| 662022 | 2008-04-24 02:56:00 | Did they mention what settings they were using? was it maximum everything including resolution? probably wasn't... Speaking of high priced hardware, a friend of mine was talking about getting a laptop that he could play games on fairly well. He had been looking at a dell, which was about $1900 with a geforce 8600M GT. I decided to look at alienware to see what they had (always heard they had fast stuff) They had a laptop almost identical to the Dell, with 1GB less ram and 80GB hdd instead of 320GB, and was about $4000. I know which one I would buy... |

| 662023 | 2008-04-24 02:57:00 | 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: |
