What has happened to the enthusiast level, overclock capable, dual socket motherboards for intel chips?
I mean, everytime I think back to the dual celeron 300A systems I built... Such nostalgia.
I'm sorry but you just have not experienced overclocking until you take two BUDGET chips, pop them on an abit legend that lets you overvolt and overclock the crap out of them, combine them with the latest and greatest video card and build a system that BLOWS AWAY the $1k flagship chip (by a factor of 2.5x) for less than that CPU alone would have cost.
Remember what that was like? It felt awesome didn't it? How do you bring that feeling of success back? Where are the dual socket enthusiast mobos? Why don't they exist anymore?
R.I.P dually :-(
Imagine what you could do with such a simple thing, you could pop in two of the upcoming gulftowns and have a 12 core box.
Come to think of it, I wish we were free to pop in two of the upcoming I3 processors, bump up the volts, OC the hell out of em, add a 5850 and be in bang for the buck heaven.
LE SIGH!
