Well, as I mentioned, I've never used it. It was sufficient for some programmers at the shop to have three separate HDMI monitors on their desks. But, that doesn't involve sync at all. They'd just have code up there on a couple, and a compiler/running database application on another. So it might not work at all. On the other hand, if you noticed, it is a relatively cheap solution and thus experimentation could be warranted if other routes do not work out.
Oh, that's so that you have the option to use a monitor with one of several standards. I've used HDMI and DVI together before. But, I don't know what 'Sub-D' is.
Well, I presumed that you chose it for overclocking because of the 'K' in the processor name. Those are unlocked and have generally been tested to be capable of running at a higher clock rate than it is rated for (although some are better than others). And - it cost you more for that reason. I presume there's another chip model that came off that exact same line that isn't overclock-able and costs less, but is otherwise identical.
Of course, SAC/SAW and central processors are generally a crap shoot no matter what. But, some multi-core processors are rated fast due to how the cores work together and how many cores there are. Whereas SAC/SAW, as we know, is mostly a single core application. If each of those single cores is relatively slow then you won't get the performance you were hoping for from just the one. Still, in spite of the compatibility vagaries, it has seemed to me that choosing a chip with fast single core performance might well give one a better chance of resulting in better SAC/SAW performance too. And you have chosen one of the top 4 Intel chips so far as single threaded performance is concerned (which impressed me...). It will also have 9 other cores that are mostly going to stand around smoking cigarettes, telling each other dirty jokes, and collecting paychecks. But, that one worker should be pretty good. And, not only that, it can be made to go faster if you go to a little trouble to cool the chip. But, as you surmise, you probably won't need it.
