Hi, Im writing to ask if you are going to be releasing a motherboard using ATI's rd600/crossfire xpress 3200 ie chipset? If so, is there any timetable on this?Thank you,******* ******

So there you have it, straight from the horses mouth. If you question my honesty feel free to send your own email.

I'm gonna bet it'll be more like mid-Nov to early Dec to when we get availablilty in stores. However, if the mobo turns out as good as everyone wants it to then I guess it will be worth the wait :cheer:

:D --------->:slobber: !!!

Let's say I'm not really unhappy with the ASUS board, but I miss the very good DFI BIOS and of course the RD600 chipset.

My hopes are hi on this board so plz DFI take care and keep on doing well !!!:slap:

To run RAM totally independent from CPU (FSB) speed is the greatest innovation since BH-5 had been coming to the market......:p: :p: :p:

How would this benefit us? I heard about it b4 but I'm guessing bottleneck?

What we have to see is if we get improvements from cas 4 to cas 3 cause from fsb we know what we get.

It would be easier to overclock, being able to run independently means we can clock our memory as fast as it can go, and then our cpu as fast as that can go.

Hopefully we will be able to do this with better control over the chipset latencies.

I pray to God it doesn't incorporate Asus' shut down "feature."

Thank you...

I thought that memory running faster wasn't beneficial? Ex, 939, Ram running at 250mhz and cpu running at 200fsb.

Now since it is seperate this no longer is valid? Correct?

AMD memory controller is very different. AMD memory performance also depends on CPU clocks, thus a 3.0ghz cpu has more bandwidth then a 2.0ghz one. The cpu was the limiting factor at 2.0ghz, thus 250 didnt help, but at 3.0ghz, the 250 setting becomes much more effective.

Not to mention we are talking about intel, very different systems. On intel systems running higher then 1:1 can give really good performance gains.

on the other hand, best performance with intel is 1:1 or 4:5.
or am i forgetting something here :confused:

2:3 is best performance.
