PC Watch described that this board uses un-anounced AMD chipset,
and it has four x16 PCIe slots:)

also reported that L1N64-SLI will get BIOS update for Barcelona...
...yeah s7e9h3n has already got it:D
L1A64 WS - my next mobo
but what is up with the atx power connector placement? is that final retail?
ETA??? I want it yesterday...
My eyes say yes, but my wallet probably says no... :(Quote:

What PSU has 2 4 pin connectors though? The one 4pin up top is an 8 pin actually with a cover over 4 of them, wth is up with that. Maybe you can use 2 of the 4 pin connectors (like a little older PSU with just a single 4 pin and a molex adapter for the other 4 pin) or just the one 8 pin?
nice so this will run 8xcores of new amd goodness :D
so this is a 4x4 phenom mobo? someone update me, i'm such a n00b :D - for my next upgrade i want dual quad & the mobo needs to do 16GB RAM. so i'm going with what ever lets me do that!
good luck finding 4GB sticks for this mobo then :(
if you do find some it will cost you an arm and a leg
i'd be looking for a DDR3 mobo as those things will need all the bandwidth they can get :D
here you go:Quote:

8x8? Wtf is 8x8?
boards looks nice
8x8 - referring to mobo above
or whatever they call it.. is it whaahoo? or smtg like that
Yes, they are beautifull
Yes, they are hot...
Yes, they have ONLY 4 SLOTS FOR MEMORY? :banana::banana::banana::banana:, why the hell not EIGHT, as common server boards? I would expect they would have fixed it by tis respin... :P
What is needed is a chipset that will fully support the new K10s. If I remember right there was a AMD reference mobo that was duel socket F+ using a RD790 chipset. It would have been great if AMD launched both K10 and the RD/RX/RS790 at the same time. I'm sure the benches would have been better if they did too.

I remember too. Btw, do you remember how many memory slots did that mobo had?
Edit: Thanks for the pics. And BASTARDS, still only two! :P
For most of my work, is enougth, but not for all. It will be a price fight between these and the official server ones, added how much problem there will be to make those babies work with Barcellonas :P
Oh yes! I like this board already :) !Quote:
