Intel D975XBX (i975X) Motherboard Pictures

The uber HOT FedEx lady just dropped off the latest Intel D975XBX motherboard and I snapped a few pictures of it. This motherboard is using the Intel 975X Chipset and comes with three, yes three, PCI Express slots on the board.

Papers with the board explain that it has 2 PCI Express controllers in the MCH to enable either 1 x 16 or 2 x 8 operation for the 16 PCI Express lanes. In addition to multiple thread support, the Intel 975X Express Chipset enables key performance-optimized capabilities such as support for multiple 2x8 graphics cards, Intel Memory Pipeline Technology (Intel MPT), 8GB memory addressability to enable 64-bit computing, and ECC memory support.

Bad Axe?
That looks like an enthusiasts board, From Intel? LOL
This is "the" board? -> Intel's first real board?
It's supposed to support both crossfire and sli?
This is also supposed to support Conroe?


Look forward to the review.......
