Intel's newest gaming platform, Skulltrail
Intel seems like it's going to be making a bigger push at gamers with the launch of Penryn, and HotHardware managed to score some deets on the company's upcoming "Skulltrail" platform, which is built-around server-class hardware reconfigured for gaming. The new mobo pictured here supports dual quad-core Penryn Xeon processors, SLI graphics, and four PCI Express x16 slots, as well as two standard PCI slots. You're also looking at a whopping six internal SATA ports, dual eSATA ports, six USB ports, a lone FireWire port, and Gigabit Ethernet. That's quite a foundation for a gaming rig -- let's just hope pricing is at least pretend reasonable, eh?
Dual Quad Cores
4x PCI-E
6x SATA

wow seems very nice for gaming

Yeah I am hoping they make one for the nehalem series. Then I'd get two low priced dual cores and clock it up to be one incredibly badass quad core.

Probably be close to a $400 or $500 board.
