Are you jealous?

I have been building high end computer workstations since high school (even xeons)XD. If Intel doesn't release 2011 soon enough... I might just have to get a life! lol

Agreed and I do recommend LGA1155 for most gamers who do not own a 1156 or 1366 already. But don't most 'enthusiasts' already have a 1366 based i7 or xeon system?

LOL! In that case may be they can hold out just a little while longer for the real big thing (LGA2011)... Hard to imagine an enthusiast making a direct leap from 775 to 2011 but what a leap! lol

I just wanna know if the motherboard has to have a video output connection.
I mean, can I connect the monitor to the discrete card and still use the Intel i7 GPU with the Logix virtua?
I'm asking this cause there're many z68 motherboards without a video output connector.
Thanks!

Z68 is best choice.
