any chance i could order one within 2 weeks? building 3 new computers and they are all going to be ATI if its out.

Not in two weeks. I don't know the exact timeline but I am fairly certain 2 weeks is too soon.

will ATI's version of SLI be ready any time soon? even you guys have to admit that gives nvidia a bit of an advantage.

When it does come out, however, a very well known and respected cooling solutions company will have custom waterblocks available for the board. Waterblocks will be used in a unique application and are color keyed to the board. Prototypes have already been fitted to the board and they look real slick and work very well.

From TFA:
"We are not surprised with a fact that this board should be very overclockable as it's made with overclockers in mind. We know that ATI managed to do some serious overclocking with this chipset and we saw one of those boards in action back in January at CES."

Just found this pdf on the sapphire site, looks like new boards for amd and intel. :D

Like how? I'm just curious.

Black/Red fade PCB Please lol. THAT would be overkill. Wll i hope someon will be in the market for a DFI nf4 in a few weeks...i'll be selling mine

Well, be patient. I got this little tidbit out of anandtechs article about the Texas ATi showdown concerning said board.

Sapphire was prominently at TXGF as a manufacturer and distributor of ATI video cards, and as the manufacturer of the first AMD Radeon Xpress 200 motherboard, distributed under the Sapphire TUL brand. You will have a hard time finding TUL motherboards in the US, but we are told that they will be widely available in Asia and Europe.

Probably why it's debuting at CEBIT first. It would be nice to know what kind of dough I should like at saving for the socket 754 board. I want AGP and to use the mobile clawhammers coming out.

something tells me if you want 754 you might want to go with the lanparty, to me it sounds like this is going to be a HIGH end board.

Not red/black but close. It looks quite nice! Unlike any other I've seen.

This particular board is 939 and is a high end enthusiast level board.

If ATI boards came out right as Venice was being released, that would be sweet! Is that too soon also?

Something like that would be good for marketing as well...some people are probly waiting on Venice so launching a real nice motherboard like that at the same time would be good

What I want:

1. on-board video/audio has a cable "dongle" and doesn't use rear I/O ports.
2. more accurate temperature/voltage monitoring (stop using the Winbond super I/O chip that converts 12V into <4V)
3. built-in wireless (disable/enable through BIOS)
4. dual gigabit port on rear I/O
5. AGP slot at the 15cm mark from top (not 2cm below)
6. single chipset AWAY from from the AGP slot (and as flat as possible) with holes for mounting.

that's all I could come up with off the top of my head ...

here's an idea: make the rear I/O modular!!! <<< this would OWN!!!

EDIT: add some kind of "clips" (like parallel port on printers) to the sATA connectors on the motherboard.
