thats for that platform thing

EDIT: Skulltrail

Yeah that's for the spider platform. You need ECC ram as well. The whole thing is very stupid IMO. Even worse than AMD's 4x4 thing

 

[veg1992]

Spider platform? you mean Skulltrail, actually this is dumber than that QuadFX that AMD had last year

 

[gurusan]

errm yeah I meant Skulltrail

 

[AP4LIFETN]

its for skulltrail + servers...ECC RAM = costly? i know server RAM usually costs a little more

High End Gaming Smackdown: Skulltrail Vs. Triple SLI

performance isn't much to brag about either

sometimes it does a little better, sometimes it does a heck of a lot worse

 

[NosBoost300]

definitely need skulltrail if you want quad sli though... otherwise.. HUGEMUNGOUS bottleneck

I dont get it, this might seem like a really dumb question but whats the difference between a Q6600 running at 3.2ghz and this performance wise? (Other than the fact that the QX9775 can overclock higher.)

The QX9775 is a Yorkfield 45nm. It's faster than the Kentsfield 65nm quads by 10%, and they feature the SSE4 instructions.
