Exactly 12 years ago, on January 14, 2008, Intel first showed a dual-processor computer for gaming on the platform
The official announcement of a motherboard with two LGA771 sockets took place a month later - on February 19, 2008. Skulltrail appeared in response to the release of a similar platform AMD Quad FX (4×4).
At that time, full-fledged quad-core processorsjust began to appear, therefore, such systems have become a kind of intermediate option. A very expensive intermediate option. The Intel D5400XS cost $ 600; the rest of the components were a match. For example, the system used a very exotic RAM standard FB-DIMM DDR2 with 4-channel access. Skulltrail supported 45nm Harpertown processors. For example, Core 2 Extreme QX9775.
