I'm gonna keep the 7700 to take to school, but I have a full tower desktop case that's running my server. Wanting to turn that into a server/full out desktop hybrid. (By "server" I mean file sharing on a LAN, so that doesn't demand a lot of resources.)

Sent you a pm back with some ideas and a couple links.

Ended up ordering a GMC Sierra with all the hoopla. Said 7-8 weeks so they are right on schedule I guess.

Howdy Spartan.

Supposed to be. From Anand.

The situation with the NVIDIA designed chipsets for the Intel market is a little different. The 680i SLI, 680i LT SLI, GeForce 7150, and GeForce 7100 chipsets officially support Wolfdale and Yorkfield. The 650i SLI and GeForce 7050 chipsets will support these processors, but it seems as if that will be a supplier to supplier decision at this time. Of note, we have several 680i SLI motherboards that are currently undergoing qualification testing at this time, not for lack of chipset support, but for board designs. The reference board A1/T1 designs from EVGA will only require a BIOS update to work as an example, while motherboards from Gigabyte, ECS, abit, Biostar, and Foxconn are questionable at this point. We will have an update on these particular motherboards shortly; in the meantime, it appears the revised 680i boards from NVIDIA's launch partners along with boards from ASUS, MSI, and DFI should be fine with nothing more than a BIOS update.

That right there makes a big difference.... Penryn on a 680i would be fantastic. Thanks Huli.

Hate to keep asking questions, but I'm looking at using RAID 5 and this board was one of two that popped up that was an EVGA 680i that supported it. Why is this one so much cheaper compared to the other EVGA 680i boards?

*EDIT* Just realized it only has 2 PCI-e x16 slots... and fewer USB ports. I'm moving too quick for my own good.

welcome.

Well, when I started building my new rig. The price of the 680I from evga went from 199.99 to now 259.99. Newegg anyways, I think zipzoomfly has the best prices for it right now.

I think that you're right. zipzoomfly seems to have pretty good prices at the moment.
