Thanks for you're input guys. For my immediate needs 28 lanes will be fine, but really, I'm thinking about the possible future needs. Which I know is a slippery slope, I just can't help myself sometimes I guess :P The boards I'm currently deciding between are the Asus X99 A II and the X99...

So I'm in the process of specing out an X99 build and am down a rabbit hole of PCIe lane specs. I'm hoping someone here can pull me out of it. :p The main thing I'm wondering is under what circumstances are 40 lanes CPU's necessary other than triple or quad SLI? I'm likely going to be just...

I'm guessing that if you visit HardOCP and you're canadian I don't need to bring this to your attention. BUT just in case http://openmedia.ca/meter If you live in canada and use the internet, you need to sign this petition. Please pass it on to you friends and family as well. :)

More choice is always good. BFG customer service has been a main selling point for me for years. Lets hope they do a dual NV/ATI production line. Make things very interest. :)

and you're sure all of those board support Port Multiplication on the rear eSATA?

Right now lets go with 300 to 500

So I'm looking for a new mobo. I'm planning on using the i7 920 and corsair ram. And hopefully OC to about 3.2 or so. One thing I've been having trouble finding info on is whether or not the eSATA connection on the boards has Port Multiplication. Is it worth trying to find a board with this...

Cool. Thanks for all your help. So now that we're on a roll. Lets say I go with the i7 920 and the EX-58A-UD3R. Any suggestions on the RAM I should get if I'm aiming to OC the 920 to like 3 gigs or so?

Yeah i had forgotten about the 6 cores. That's probably the best compromise. So any recommendations on a good LGA1366 board? I want good on-board sound (I'm no audiophile but appreciate good audio) and need port multiplication on the eSATA ports.

Cool thanks. Danni: My plans for this PC is Gaming and 3D work in maya (so full production work from concept to rendering) So I'm thinking at least 6 gig's of RAM and as much processor might as I can manage. I'm not to worried about price. I didn't think about the windows versions though...

So I'm thinking about doing an upgrade. Not really worried about price to much. I want something inbetween a workstation and a gaming rig. I was wondering if there is any disadvantage to building something with a server board and wanting to be able to play games on it. The dual socket...

I too would like a chance to win. :)

My mom says I'm special...

I've been hearing this, but is there any official documentation? Not that I don't believe you, but MS is less than reliable in these sort of situations. :P
