[Parrot]

Here is a clearer look at the Asus MB.

Talk about vaporware, I can't even bring up the photo!

All I'm getting is a 403 forbidden error. Please try and make sure things work before you post them.

Nice board!

Am i the only one able to see it? 8O

Anyway, something doesn´t look right. There aren´t enough connections between the different components on the PCB. Or maybe there are so many that they don´t stick out. It looks weird though.

Heard of 4x4's successor, 8x8?
8 cores (4 cores per socket, 2 sockets), and 8 GPUs.

[Nitro350Z]

Just Imagine the PowerSupply needed to keep that thing on...

 

[evilr00t]

Shh, don't spread nuclear secrets :-D

No, seriously.
The motherboard would probably melt if you stuck 8 cores and 8 GPUs on it.

And in other news the hole in the ozone layer just got bigger....

Is that so Jack, I was under the impression that this would be the boxed cooler with each processor:

All you have is just the RAM cooler.

 

[zarooch]

wot abt the cooling of 8 gpus?

 

[dasickninja]

So far news reports that you need one of these for every 2 GPU's

 

[zarooch]

I wonder how big casing would it require since it has to fit all of those cooling solutions in it and the nuclear power station?

 

[dasickninja]

All these are external solutions, but the user has the option of using his or her house or any large structure as a chasis.

Clicky

12 SATA connectors?! Surely thats overkill?!

All solid capacitors, 4 PCIe x16 slots, fanless design.

Kinda pretty, but meh... Kentsfield seems so much more..... elegant.

 

[dasickninja]

My friend you are surely mistaken. Can one ever have enough storage?

 

[darkstar782]

Well 4x150GB Raptors RAID0 for system drive, 4x750GB Seagate 7200.10 RAID5 for storage is surely enough for anybody?

Even with an SATA optical drive, thats only 9 devices, and I'd rather run that 4x750GB RAID5 array on a proper hardware XOR controller anyway....

Geez, it was all I could do to fit my last, single 7600 GT video card into my budget!
Who the hell can afford eight video cards at today's prices?
Criminey, if I had a spare $2,000 lying around I'd fix the freakin' oil leak on my car first!

 

[dasickninja]

I don't run RAID's. They scare me and I could never understand them.

 

[rwaritsdario]

ROFL!

 

[azerman]

thanks a lot, in was in fact using firefox and you're tip worked great. thanks again

 

[dasickninja]

This is folly on my part but I don't do much in the way of backup. I should use that tape drive my dad got from his company, but as befits my student status, I'm just too lazy. Everything I have on my computer is replaceable.

Ok, the picture looks nice, but what are the specs? Befoe I put down a bunch of dollars, I want to know what I'm buying.
