I think that GA-EX58-UD3R doesn't support SLI Hornet331 and that GA-EX58-UD4P PCI-E configuration is 16x+16x+8x, and GA-EX58-DS4 is 16X+8x+8x.Quote:

FFS.
I think PHII is about what all of us expected. Its just that some of us looked forward to PHII's good points and some looked forward to PHII's weak points.
I highly doubt you can run an i7 with two phases. Maybe if you do something exotic in the cooling solution. Also, more phases translates to less time each phase is on for.Quote:

How can you tell what THE temp is when more than one reviewer said AMD's temp sensor/probe didn't work right?Quote:

If nothing else it will bring increased competition to the market and I'm looking forward to Intel cutting Yorkfield prices in response.
Sorry Donnie, but this post has been reported, you just dont know when to lay off. Give it a break, pleaseQuote:

pls let us know why you think they are pretty far behind intel boards.Quote:

now if they would only add some cpu´s that are actually in the same price range would be added value for the review.......Quote:

A perverse interpretation of what has happened in this thread, unless you were referring to the posts by Mongoled.Quote:
