hey people, is the new xeon processor using the 'kentsfield' core? if so does anyone have any idea on the release date of them cause im not gonna go conroe, im gonna hold out for the new xeons and go MP i think, might go for a small AM2 upgrade to hold till xeons hit the stores
 
well its official, screw conroe, im gonna wait to see what woodcrest is like, might just get myself a little CPU upgrade or something, perhaps the nice and cheap 3800+ X2 and overclock, will woodcrest still be MP?

Edit: just found this on the register 'Intel is set to ship its 'Woodcrest' processor, the first 65nm Xeon chip to be based on the chip giant's next-generation architecture, will ship at 2.93GHz and boast a 1333MHz frontside bus, a purported copy of the company's server roadmap posted on a Chinese-language website claims.' does this mean woodcrest is coming very soon, sooner than expected?

its motherboards that are hard to get find for dual xeon based systems, especially with the likes of SLI and PCI-E, hope to see more for woodcrest
 
if i was to get a woodcrest system dual PCI-express graphics is a bonus, one PCI-express is a must, think there'll be a motherboard supporting two woodcrest CPUs, overclock well, support two PCI-express graphics?
