Intel’s New Gaming Mainboard

Intel has introduced “Skulltrail” as a special designed mother board for people that need a little bit extra CPU and graphic power. The board offers two CPU sockets and support both SLI and Crossfire. The processor you should get for this is the Core 2 Extreme QX 9775 and with two of these and maybe two Geforce 9800GX2 card you should have enough power to play the most games out there. The processor has 12 MB L2-cache, 1600FSB and runs on 3,2 GHz but can be clocked a lot if you want. The Mainboard will be on 650 bucks which is acceptable with todays low dollar value. If you plan to get two processors you should however prepare yourself to completely empty your wallet. If you plan to get this rig you should also use a 64-bit OS so that you can get past the 4 GB memory boarder.
