Unless your building a Dedicated Gaming server thats gonna run 25 different ips thats useless, but very nice. imo

It's the first dual cpu motherboard that support overclocking
( not counting the Scuall Trail,BP6,and the Asus ws64),which is very significant.
I know a few people who waited years for this baby.
EVGA calls it SR2 (Super Record).
