Why you don't buy it vbetts. If you're a Memory Lover!:)

OMG I really like this mobo
Best choice for virtualization

Still won't take down the 32 GB's of ram in the Mac Pro. lol. That's just too much... can you say, tons of virtual machines?

need lots of memory for large scenes i know what i would prefer for rendering though, *pats mac pro*

like I said that thing is a {censored} beast..

Sure, thats alot, but...

.. I hope this hits the streets fairly soon.

I'm happy with my 8 GB of DDR2

i've run 83 processes in 54 apps... then i opened 31 quicktime movies... and they ran... slowly but surely...

4 gigs ftw! specs in sig

Hmm...

Consider this:

http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/39056/135/

supports 6 graphics cards, which would mean the theoretical ability to power up to twelve 30" monitors (beats the Mac Pro)

supports 24 GB of DDR3-1333 (6 slots of 4GB DDR3-1333 sticks)

has 6 SATA ports (well, not that special).

And most importantly, Intel Core i7 support.

Mouthwatering.

Where the hell are they getting the "6 cards" thing?
I only see 4 slots. The rest are obviously PCIe 1x slots... which last time I checked couldn't support modern cards.

10gb ftw

- nvidia quadro nvs290 -

Apparently in the last paragraph they said that the board is "still being worked on" and that:



so... there's your answer.

Well at least decent cards. Not to mention, if I were going for multi-GPU action, I'd get a few 4870 XTs instead of some low end NVIDIA card that would be compatible.
