COMPUTEX 2007: We managed to find Intel's own next generation X38 "BoneTrail" motherboard on display. Looks promising, pictures inside...

Seems standard, but where'd the mosfet heatsinks go? You'd think a board that caters to a quadcore, 4gb of ram, and triple(!) 150w slots would need them...

what waterblock is that?

Corsair's that comes with the Nautilus 500

It looks like just two PCI slots, not three, same as the BadAxe and BadAxe2.

Got me excited for a moment there, I could have stuck a soundcard in the third slot along with my two tv tuners...!

I can't wait to see what kind of overclocking you could do with that chipset

, also for the last guy why two TV tuner cards?

one is enough for me

I have my BadAxe board in my media center - it's been the most stable board I've ever bought. The two tuners are so I can watch and record TV at the same time (yes, I watch way too much TV....

)

I think there is a program that lets you record your TV wile you are watching it

the only problem is there is a slight delay for the image. so if your show starts at 5:00 you might see it start at 5:05

If there are 3 pci slots, One of them could be under the video card.
