Intel officially releases Skulltrail, quad core QX9775 - Image 1


Hold on to your pants, fellow Banzai Runners - this one's going to be a doozy. Intel has finally released the final version of Skulltrail - a server motherboard that was professionally converted to become an extreme gaming platform. The semiconductor manufacturer's latest offering to the PC gaming and hardware scene will be on shelves in enthusiast stores - if not just with suppliers - near you together with the company's newest quad-core Intel Pentium Core 2 Extreme QX9775.

Expect to burn pockets, break banks, and sell your souls to grab one. At US$ 649 manufacturer suggested retail price, you'd note that it's only just a few dozen bucks away from the extreme gaming board Striker II from ASUS, only this one follows the steps of Intel's D5400XS motherboard line with dual socket CPU support.

The company even slapped on a pair of their newest extreme quaddies, the Intel Pentium Core 2 Extreme QX9775 operating at 3.2 GHz per core, and challenging any platform through a course of benchmarks. Only held back by the fully buffered dual in-line memory modules (FBDIMMs, limited to DDR2 800 MHz), the trio scored top on most tests.

But when the extreme versions of Intel's X48 do roll out and prices of DDR3 memory modules drop, the Skulltrail might take the highway to obsolescence like so many of its predecessors. Surf the bleeding edge of computer technology as the news waves roll in.
