INTEL SKULLTRAIL (Dual Socket CPU Motherbard)

[sri_lion]

One glance at the Intel D5400XS motherboard with its dual-CPU sockets and active chipset cooling is enough to tell you that this isn't your normal PC motherboard. Code named Skulltrail, the Intel D5400XS represents Intel's ultimate PC motherboard platform.

Regular motherboards only have a single CPU socket, two PCI Express slots, and support for only one of the two competing dual-GPU formats. In comparison, the Skulltrail has two processor sockets, four x16 PCI Express video card slots, and built-in support for both SLI and CrossFire. If you set two Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9775 processors in the board, you have an 8-core monster ready to run.

It looks good machang, but it seems its not up to the expectations! This is promoted as an extreme gaming motherboard but benchmarks are not very appealing it seems!

And I dont understand why they had to opt for DDR2! When ASUS and others already into DDR3 in their newer versions!

 

[hemalmenaka]

wow, nice way to spend savings!

thanx srilion

There are people in sl still playing old dos games with their p1s,try to handle premier in p2s, hoping to work with 3ds Max with their p3s, and wanna game with their p4s n Ds (like me, he he) and now the Intel has introduced their dual cpu platform showing 2 45nm quads running But dont know how this will succeed selling their new high priced things in S.Asia (might be, they dont care), Coz still they dont have a affordable price cut to their 65nm extremes.

Yeah! well.. its definitely not affordable in Sri Lanka!

Unless you equip it with two processors (two QX9775's of course) , it is slower than a single QX9770 desktop processor based system, because of the sucky memory subsystem.

You think so?

It is not even DDR2-800 or 1066. It is DDR2 667! Dammit!
Maybe DDR3 FB-DIMMs are not made yet.

 

[sri_lion]

You think so?

1st of all it has to be available ne!

 

[chanster]

How can 2xQX9770 be slower than 1 single QX9770? Even with DDR 667? For a program like 3ds max.....3D max will love 4 more cores more than DDR 2 1066 memory.....

Gorgeous isn't it...?? he he he...

Super mother board
