Both of these boards should be awesome, just not sure which one to buy when they come out in Aug/Sept??? Not sure if the Quad Channel memory will be one module per channel or 4 memory ports OR 2 modules per channel, 8 ports. Eight memory slots that's going to be a wide board!!! Any suggestions are much appeciated!
They should debut at Computex in about a week. Can't wait to see what they look like.
I would honestly wait. I am looking at X79 myself. Patience is key. Hell I am waiting for Kepler
There was one of my old guild mates that maxed out his ram on his X58 to make a RAMdrive to put World of Warcraft (before cataclysm) in his RAMdrive. He said the playing WoW was literally instant and there was little to no lag in heavy congested areas. I wonder if Quad channel will be worth it to copy an entire game to the RAMDrive. But it depends on what games you play.
