SHOUTING SO LOUD!! ;)

All caps is considered shouting online.

I think W6600 probably needs to be flashed to work but after that should be fine with correct power cables used.

The W6800 (the blue coloured card) has also been used and will give you 32GB but it needs high power delivery (pixlas mod) and also must be flashed.

I got one of those. Bear in mind it runs:
Bus Type : PCI Express 4.0 x8
So, in the cMP it will be running at PCI Express 2.0 x8. Electrically it only has 8 lanes.
