but if you have that much money in the first place... they won't shiv a git about their energy costs
page 14 - two copies of same "Power Consumption 100% Load" graph = boob??!!
Spuddyt you're wrong!!
Anyone buying this board will have problems paying off those maxed out credit cards when their power bill comes in!! (Well we are talking enthusiasts right??)

I bet the lack of memory speed settings is more than just a beta issue... Intel will use it as a means of preventing ludicrous levels of Xeon overclocking and force anyone crazy enough to buy SkullTrail back onto the crack... er, I mean back to EEs, with their unlocked multiplier, relatively poor overclockability and 500% price premium. Per CPU.
I want this board. Put 2x xenons in there for $250 a piece and get a true 8core system for $1000..
Anyone know where we can buy it in the US ?
