All hardcore gamers and hardware experts will be very pleased to know that ASUS is working on a Intel 5400 + Intel ESB2E powered workstation motherboard. The Z7S-WS, just like Intel's Skulltrail platform which is all over the news today, adopts two LGA 771 processors, FB-DIMM DDR2 memory (6x slots for up to 24GB memory), and has 2x PCI-e x16 and 1x PCI-e x8 slots. According to the source of the news we should expect the Z7S-WS to come in March for USD $627.

Except for the layout of the CPU sockets, it's a good board. Imagine, this board has no SLI and is priced at ~$627, how would Intel price the Skulltrail :eek:

No word on these yet since it's a prototype, but I bet it'll support at least CrossFire/CrossFireX.

If it did support SLI, the specifications (in the 3rd pic) would be screaming it "SLI" or "NVidia Multi-GPU". Foxconn came up with a X48 board with a MacGyver "NVidia multi-GPU" (not to be confused with SLI) without implementing NForce sub-chipset.

but $627 for just a motherboard? thats a bit outrageous, regardless of what it comes with (imo) i think one could find a much better board for a lot less..

I already have the rest of the parts, I expect my LV's to clock pretty far just like previous LV's have done. (1.6 LV easily did 3.2+)

There isn't much to know about the board, it is jsut a 5400 which sports some OC features and Crossfire support.
