SLI for X58 Chipset

Not really. Nehalem does not look like that much of a performance bump from Penryn at least in games and I am sure that is what this forum is going to be most concerned about. I am sure in other aspects it rocks especially in video editing related stuff and multitasking. But the initial benches dont show it to be that much of a performance boost. I am actually a bit disappointed with it. But Intel usually gets better after they do their tock which is their die shrink which is going to be 32 nm and that will be what I would be waiting for. The appeal of X58 is with its freedom of CF or SLI is definitely the most interesting to me. Also looks like it will be a triple channel memory architecture so be prepared to bleed through your nose for the DDR3 memory modules the prices are just ridiculous! But it will get better of course. If I were you I would wait :) My 2 cents.
 
the prices of the mobo concerns me the most. if its really $500 for a mobo then i may just get a penthyn
