Oh btw to clarify, the IMC is located within the chips inself right? not the Motherboard supporting it?



Also I am assuming the quickpath technology is used by the board and but not the CPUs right? (The CPU chip only support it)

Woot another reason to get a new mobo

its because its using a whole new socket, so obviously its not compatible it has nothing to do with it being in early stages

I thought he was talking about a prototype LGA1366 mobo, ofcourse a LGA1366 cpu won't fit in a LGA775 motherboard, I'm not a idiot...

Well I thought it was gonna be waaaaaaay bigger looks good

LGA 1160 is the other alternative... Aim at mainstream or entry level desktop CPU... (guess they dun really need so much pins as compared to 1366)
