Well, I have never seen an multi-socket LGA775 motherboard so I'm not surprised. I would be willing to bet money that the difference between LGA771 and LGA775 is that the latter lacks the required memory coherency lines on the bus connection that would be required to support shared memory.
But the real problem with Skulltrail (and something Engadget neglected to mention) is that it doesn't in fact use DDR2 memory. Rather, it uses FB-DDR2 which costs ridiculously more for less performance. (FB-DDR2 is a server memory standard -- it sacrifices speed for data integrity)
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
