WE LEARNED that the contradictory RD600 based boards with three PCIe 16X slots are still in the works. The ATI's acquisition delayed things for a few weeks but the boards are not cancelled.

See a dell barebone with a RS600 in it told me the RS600/RD600 was not dead if Dell was using them. From what im hearing is Dell will have a full line up of desktops using the new ATI chipset.

RS600 and RD600 are very different chipsets.

Today i went to a presentation of the new x1950XTX in brasil, and paul said the mobo is working and is faster than 975 but he also said that many partners dropped the idea of having this mobo because it will be the latest mobo for intel from ati
