EVGA Classified SR-2 fits twin six-core Xeon processors

I think this is for now one of the most powerful motherbords... King of kings

What a freaking monster..I wonder how much power it'll draw if it's fully loaded!

That thing is a true MONSTER.
Can any software or OS' even support that much damn power? That is off the hook.
I might actually buy that if it's even worth it.

If people pay stupid money for 4 graphics cards than these things will sell like hot cakes.

I hate it when people say it does nothing for graphics when sli/crossfire for 3 or more gfx cards are bottle-necked by current processor speeds only.

hahaha good one. I think it's just show of . And by the way, it's not that expansive isn't it? (for such a high performance motherboard)? What do you think guys?

So are there actually any cases out there which will house this thing?

Wow, that's one nice motherboard! The price is a bit less nice, though, but with all the features, I guess it's justified. I wonder if it will eventually support the i7 980X via a firmware update or if it's really a limitation with the board?

when does this come in a laptop?

Tons... I have one (Thermaltake Mozart TX) that I just bought for a gaming/htpc, but this mb is just way outta my league... Perhaps I can apply for a grant.

I am not sure it would fit in Thermaltake's Level 10 casing; but for that price it could rival that motherboard ...... and if push comes to shove ....... I am sure not many can push it to limits; except may be perhaps people who use multi-threaded / engineering applications.

Note: Frankly, I am unsure that casing can hold it; but if you only consider price, it is just as outrageously expensive.

is it really going to work at 500fps

lol! two six core processors? dats gr8!
who has the money to buy them both?
lol! serioulsy its gr8!
hmmm lets c how many ppl buy it!

Considering the expandability of premium single processor motherboards, I'd admit that is not the brightest spot for this particular motherboard. However I do think it's reasonable, especially when the main attraction is obviously the dual sockets and high max RAM cap. Obviously the power draw is going to be huge on this thing, so perhaps that's one reason the options appear a bit trim. However if I were to buy one of these, I would still have empty internal SATA ports. I also hate that even though I'm not usually even pushing my core 2 duo laptop, a part of me still has the desire to buy this and build something incredible. I would love to run some benchmarks with this thing : )

only 1333 mhz for the ram? fail.

I have 1600 mhz ocz in my lowly x58 pro-e mobo made by msi.. 180 bucks!

holy roflskates batman

As if there is a difference between a highend single CPU and this twin CPU. Buying this for personal use is either pointless or just an overclocker enthusiasts.

I wonder if it's 1+1=2 or 1+1=1.3

I bet that the dual cpu mb will be just like SLI or Crossfire

Makes a really nice CAD machine

I will like to test this mobo with maya,mudbox, worldmachine 2 for making game level
