Hydra on X58 board

[bfdd]

We saw the MSI P55 board that has it, but where are the X58 boards with it? Has anyone heard anything RECENTLY, not 1-2 years ago, about X58 boards that will have the Hydra chip on them?

It's too late for me. Already ordered an i7 860. Ditching my x58 for the Big Bang.

It'll come I'm sure, we don;t have any reviews on the Big Bang yet so wait until the reviews hit and we know more. It's a high end thing for Multi-GPU systems and seeing as the X58 is a Multi-GPU, high end platform- they won't want to miss out on that.

Sylvanas yeah there's nothing out about the Big Bang yet, but I have an i7 920 NiB sitting on a shelf in my closet. I want to buy the ram and motherboard for it and I planned on waiting till the GT300 was released to see how it stacks up against ATIs latest before making a new video card purchose. Then the Big Bang was announced and I put my plans on hold hoping that we'd hear about it on the X58 sooner rather than later. If no news breaks on a X58 w/ Hydra soon and Big Bang starts getting good reviews I might sell my i7 920 and move down to the 1156 socket and go that route.
