This board looks amazing (-ly expensive).

Look very good, but is it worth for folding..... To be able to have huge bonus , you have to use client with 24 cores ( if they are available one day) .... for the price of this beast you can probably build 4, if not more I7 920 folding rigs, and that give a lot more slot for GPU.

Plus two 6-core Xeons that will be coming. 24 cores (12 real + 12 HT) at 3.5 ghz with another 40K PPD from GTX 260s. I'm selling the FARM.

But not the folding FARM :)

Sweet find by the way. Made my wish list.

Its going to need a special power supply designed by EVGA given all the power connectors on the motherboard alone, plus the requirements if the slots are filled. Unless they expect people to create their own system for it with 2 or three power supplies.
