The beast is here!

So apparently Intel can make a chipset that supports both sli and crossfire. Why don't they put it on their mainstream boards?
 
does this mean OCUK will stock the rest of the parts needed so we can actually make a pc or will we have to look towards other sources to secure parts such as CPU, RAM etc
 
Whilst I'm way out of my depth here, surely this board is ahead of time?

Does the dual CPU and SLI/Crossfire compatablility make it worth that price or is there something else obvious I'm missing?

What would make use of dual CPU's right now?
 
There is an interesting review of the skulltrail platform on anandtech (link below)
By which the basic idea throughout the review was that it was largely pointless because the fully buffered ram wasn't ideal (I can't recall what they said exactly) Also that apart from a few applications none of which would apply to 99% of PC users 1 quad core would be suffice

Would be nice to say you had one though :p although you would need to spend some serious cash QX cpus being 500/600 mobo 400 and then the ram
plus Gfx Cards, i say cards because if you could afford this system you would probably have two/three already :p
