Ya Know, Sometimes the answers are Right in Front of You.......
 
While I was Sitting around Today wishing I had My FIFTH Replacement RMA'd 759 X58 3X SLI Classified (4 have gone bad since My first in 2009) or Better Yet My New 762 X58 4X SLI Classified (and Also the Fourth Ultra), I started to Wonder if My Good 'Old Original Plain 758 X58 3X SLI MB that I've had for Over THREE YEARS and have Beaten/OC'd to Death under Chiller Water/Sub-Zero Phase Change to get My Top Scores back then without EVER Failing on Me could Possibly work with My Three Ultras??
So, I Pulled it Out of Mothballs after Not Using it for Two Years, Installed it/Updated the BIOS/Put a Fresh Install of Vista 64-bit on it and was Pleasantly Surprised with the 3DMARK 11 Results:
 
Now if Only My 980X ES will arrive Tomorrow Morning............

Nice! These E758s will take a huge beating from what I've seen so far, very reliable.

Yes They Do, Even Without an NF200 Chip onboard, They are Well Built for the Very First EVGA X58 MB.
 
I Tweaked the Cpu up a Little from 3.36GHz to 3.4Ghz on the 920DO and Got a Better Score, So I can't Hardly Wait to put in the Hexa Core ES!

 LOL!, Yes, I Know Nate,
 
When I was Benching Before, I was using the Public Beta of Windows 7 64, But Now it no longer Works so I have to try and find "Something I can Use" instead of Buying a Retail Box because Windows 8 Public Beta will be out in February 2012!
 
PS:
Any Help on this would be Greatly Appreciated..........

Hmm... You could always use a benching OS. Or "Borrow" one for a few months.

Where would You go to Download any Benching OS Software or an ISO Download for Windows 7?
Can't Borrow one 'cause My friends aren't running Windows 7 either. 
 
EDIT:
Downloading Windows Server 2008 RC2 from TechNet.

Thanks John,
 
I Knew about the Benchmarks at Hwbot, I just wanted to get a Windows 7 OS to use without Buying a Retail Box when the Public Beta Windows 8 will be out in Feb. 2012.
 
Doing a little Researching, I Found that Windows 2008 RC2 is Basically Windows 7 64 that I can use for a 180 day trial period.

That's pretty sweet! Nice work. I got tired of my case, pulled everything out and put it in a different case for my blog article on CMHD. After next week though, it's going onto the bench. 
 
And John, or Q, should I go for an F1 Dark or a Gemini 2.0? I've been thinking the Gemini to be honest. 
 
Would be mostly doing DICE, maybe a little LN2.
