So just renewing my research about thunderbolt on socket 2011. I know that there are several hurdles in the way of us seeing PC hardware with socket 2011 and thunderbolt of any kind including the lack of thunderbolt proliferation in the market.
So I was looking at other ways and I am familiar with the ASUS card and while it is a bit awkward to have to plug in the display port cable it does get you t-bolt on a 6 core or more board.
Which brings me to the HP Thundebolt 2 PCIe card: http://h30094.www3.hp.com/product.aspx?sku=10778991&mfg_part=F3F43AA&pagemode=ca
HP states compatibility with a few of their workstations. I'm curious if this precludes the possibility for compatibility with general mobos. I'm sure it is entirely possible that there are specifics about the mobos that the card was tailored for.
Has anyone heard anything about this card or it being used anywhere other than with the workstations mentioned?
