Still remember LGA 775 architecture is long life product line in Intel products.
After P4 transited to LGA775 about one year, Intel C2D processors become the best selling series and make the LGA775 is hot selling.
Recall my memory, it’s been over 2 years that C2D and LGA775 are announced.
As per Intel behavior, it’s time to change to the new architecture.
Early this year, there are many rumors about LGA1366 chipset and processor. Finally, we could see more detail now.
This time I got is GIGABYTE latest product GA-X58-EXTREME. EXTREME is GIGABYTE new series for Overclockers since P45.
