Quite interested in the GB UD3 board, would like to see some pics and a review, xe.com converts it to £74 so I hope we can expect it to be around £90-100 EDIT: Rep added, don't get fired now
wow, those prices are very reasonable. again, many thanks for the information. i wonder how many SATA's UD4P is going to have, im wondering whether to put my data into a NAS or keep adding disks to my computer. if latter, i'll need more than 6 SATA ports for my next upgrade
Thanks for the info! The P55 and Lynnfield keep looking better and better. Just wondering, do you have any info if/when there will be a successor to the X58?
I don't know if there will be a successor to the X58 chipset based on the Lynnfield processors. With the 1156 socket they removed the QPI link and moved the PCI-E pipelines directly onto the CPU. Since there's only going to be enough graphics bandwidth for a single 16X or dual 8X cards, I don't see the Lynnfield processors being able to handle more than two cards at 8X a piece. If the Lucid chips start hitting the P55 boards, however, there's a very real chance to run multiple cards on the P55 chipset, with near 100% scaling for each individual card. Once that turns into a reality, the P55 chipset will overtake the X58 chipset, and the need for multi-lane PCI-E connection motherboards will diminish. The Lucid chip handles all of the graphics cards directly, so it takes the single 16X pipeline from the CPU and distributes the information to multiple GPUs, with near perfect scaling. Until that happens though, the X58 chipset is pretty much your only bet. Best get one while they're still 'cheap'.
i have discovered some information on one of the Intel Lynnfield motherboards. this board... will not be sold. i do not know the reason. all i know is that the product was 'discontinued' before it was even shipped out. also discovered three new Lynnfield motherboards. three Biostar boards. haven't got the details yet. but will asap. and unfortunately. i wont be able to provide screenshots. lxrysprtmscl
