That they chose to call this (or anything else) "Bad Axe" will be both the funniest and saddest thing I read all day.JarredWalton - Thursday, January 26, 2006 - link
I think it's a play off of "Bad Ass" - say it fast and "axe" sounds a lot like "ass" to me. Basically, it was a codename from Intel designed to sound cool. Love it or hate it, that's what they used. Intel has geeks working there too, it seems! :)BATCH71 - Thursday, January 26, 2006 - link
I really wanted this board to be a SLI-screamer. I guess that is not the case. Next processor will be an AMD.
