Fudzilla claims that with Nehalem, there will be 3 types of sockets, 1160 (mainstream), 1366 (high-end), and a server socket.</P> <P>My first question is this: Fudzilla claims overclocking will be disabled on the mainstream socket. I am an overclocker and I can't afford the high-end parts, in fact I would still be running my P4 machine I piecedupgraded fromsomething that origionally started with 512MB value ram, some generic board and a 2GHz celeron over the years if it wasn't for my Uncle who gave me a whole bunch of new parts when he upgraded his system. Will overclocking really be disabled on the 1160 platform?</P> <P>My second question is if there will even be two desktop platforms (the 1160 and 1366). This would cause people a lot of money if they decide to upgrade to high end parts but oh, now I need a 1366 based board. = and frustration</P> <P>(on TechPowerUp I am hat, I tried signingup with the same name but it was taken already)</P> <P></P> <P>This is the TechPowerUp thread I found this at:</P> <P><A href="http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58437">http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58437</A></P> Wed, 23 Apr 2008 04:23:28 GMT downgraded286 2008-04-23T04:23:28Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Moderncode-for-Parallel/Nehalem-question/m-p/900407#M4197 <P>Hm this seems like the best place to post this...</P> <P>Anyway, I have been a member of TechPowerUp for a while and today I saw some news that disturbed me.
