quad cpu mobos?

[carguy86]

recently i watched a video on youtube where jerry berg mentioned that puget systems build and sell qad cpu desktops..... (he briefly mentions a quad fx 9590 system too.) who in their rigth mind would put four un-nefred 9590s in one pc?!?? (also where could one aquire a quad cpu lga 2011 mobo?)

There is no board that supports quad fx9590.

You can get quad cpu mobos(or 8 cpus mobo's more if you want RISC stuff), but there is no use if your not using a server.

There is no board that supports quad fx9590.

oh, it all seems logical now... (four independent systems in one huge case....)

I guess one advantage is some quad-CPU motherboards's allow up to 1TB of RAM (which is perfect for a RAM disk or storing huge workloads), but the only people who would buy those motherboards would be businesses who need powerful servers or workstations for whatever they might need, I can't see any use or reason why a regular consumer would buy one.

 

There are some LGA 2011 quad-CPU motherboards out there, such as the X9QRi-F+ which uses Xeon processors.

You can find server boards with four AMD Opterons. But that's server-grade hardware, and not something that common users will even begin to touch.

curiosity almost killed my wallet. (i would have lept at a quad 9590 capable board just bechause....)

If you are going to run quad 9590s, just make sure to install a couple AC units in every room of your house.
