TweakTown played a bit with the X10SAT, though they didn't did anything new or reelevant with it.
I already paid the reserve value for the Xeon and the X10SAT. I should have it next week. Had to break the piggy bank. Years ago I didn't even bother to think on the possibility of purchasing high end parts like these.
I'm still dissapointed that Supermicro doesn't want to make X10SAT a hybrid Workstation and enthusiast Motherboard, because it could fill both roles nicely. All it should take would be a BIOS upgrade to make me happy.
As far that I am aware, the only thing that you can do on a Z87 Chipset that you can't in a C226 is to be able to freely change the CPU Multiplier on the ones that have it Unlocked. Assuming that is true, you can still do things like overclocking Haswell GPU on the other Chipsets, and I suppose that you could use a lower-than-default CPU Multiplier if you wanted to underclock. But considering that I want VT-d and K series Processors doesn't have it, missing that single feature from Z87 doesn't matter, as it seems that it could have everything else.
