Maximum PC Builds First Nehalem System
This is for all of you, who are impatiently waiting for that new CPU, the X58 boards with that new socket and that triple channel DDR3 support. Maximum PC has managed to get their hands on everything needed to build one of these systems. They give single, dual and triple channel memory setups a try as well. To top things off, they have even taken a few images. One image from Maximum PC can be seen below, but make sure to take a look at all the other ones on their site.

lol the last photo is amusing: "This computer seems to have Tylersburg motherboard chipset... Do you wish to create a hardware report now and submit it to Lavalys?"

*additional Comment
i hope they make an adapter for my Scythe infinity
i have readed that it got flexible ocing futeres
like turn 2 cores off and increas power of first 2 cores
or increas multieplyer of all 4 cores easly could hit 4ghz
also QPI can be increased
Also, the pin count is almost double: 775 VS 1366.
its totally obvious that the whole chip is bigger and so is the socket.
from what i've read intel is trying to use the same hole pattern as the 775 uses. MAYBE that has changed.
im not trying to be mean but like 3-4 people have misunderstood me now. im JUST clarifying what i meant.
As for the hole pattern, since in the LGA775 its so much bigger then the actual socket, it would stand to reason that it would be compatible with the Nehalem socket, despite it being quite a bit bigger: my guess is the Motherboard makers will have the final say about this.
