What the heck mobo supports that??

X58 Supports that lol

And Nehalem is pretty much a super hyped up P4 from back in the day since P4 used Hyper-threading

That is why I am waiting since I would not have money till later this year I just said screw it and wait. 939 FOR LIFE!!

New series of MB,CPU,RAM. I wonder how much my system would be worth after the release. Probably drop like the P4 did when conroe came out.

So how does one OC this thing, without an FSB?

By OCing the reference clock. Very similar to how AMD systems are OC'd now.

Anyone who is confused about the lack of a FSB would do well to go back to articles from 2003-2004 and read all the things you missed about the A64s.

No, absolutly not.

Nehalem has virtually nothing in common with the P4. Hyper-threading in no way implies any significant relation to the netburst architecture.

Nehalem is a tweaked Core 2 with QuickPath interconnects and an on-die memory controler. Core 2 is a tweaked and widend Core. Core is a highly tweaked P3, which was an improved PII, which was an improved Pentium Pro.
