Several articles are floating around saying the EVGA X58 Classified 4-Way SLI has broken four 3DMark world records during the Motor City Overclocking Event. The mother board manufacturer recommends the X58 Classified motherboard be used with a chassis that has nine or more expansion slots. Keep in mind this board is large weighing in at 13.5″ x 10.3″, so be sure to break out a larger box to house this baby before placing your order.

Normally, these types of motherboards are often flashier, have better cooling, some serious enhanced overclocking abilities, more features and are priced significantly higher than their mainstream motherboards.

From what I understand, that is one serious motherboard.

I think it's time we did an FAQ and glossary for people who aren't as knowledgeable.

Are those prices listed in US$?

that motherboard/graphics card combo makes my computer look like garbage. i think its time for an upgrade...again.
