ok, so:
S754 - only-Infinity and S939 - only-LanParty, right ? :)
EDIT: no, hold on.....at the dfi-hp is explained, that the Infinity = LanParty-UT.....that right ? :)

DOES IT SUPPORT MOBILES?!?! :D
You all may want to check out this thread at dfi-street. It contains some interesting tidbits from the moderators who are DFI employees. :)
Some points include:
- in their opinion, it should support mobiles because their other K8 board(s) do and their BIOS designer is well aware of the importance of mobiles to the enthusiast community, BUT they (the mods) do not actually know if it will support mobiles or not.
- there may be a small price drop from the $130 MSRP once they are widely available.
- they have read this thread!
Well, he makes a good point about "over-expectations", but really, I'm not expecting to clock higher than, or as high as bigtoe or OPP. :rolleyes: It's more like, if I have a choice between riding a Huffy or a Cannondale, I'm pretty sure I'll pick the Cannondale. ;)Quote:

Well im waiting for this board to appear.. Who do you think will have it in stock first? Newegg or Mwave?
Hey bigtoe I got a question for you...
how hot does the board itself run?
My MSI K8T right now runs 33C...is the DFI alot lower...
Also I am in the means of preordering that motherboard!!!
ZipZoomFly of course. That's where the pre-orders are being taken on Friday :)Quote:

Will we have to call in for the pre-order or will it be avail on their site to order?
Pssst, look on page 12. It's all there.Quote:

Page 12 on what thread?Quote:

the page # depends on how many posts per page you have as default. This is page 6 for me. Maybe page 12 for him.
more importantly - to hose who say expect no more than 250fsb - I say it darn well better get that for all we are led to believe.
The infinity earned its rep in two ways - it offered average overclocks akin to some of the best overclocks previously available. (fsb)
it also offered a myriad of teething problems. I myself wen through three baords before I got one that did not have boot and bios issues - and ALL of them fluctuated vcore mightily.
250fsb? better be more than that! I have had my chaintech up to 250x10 with a 3000+ - it likely goes higher, but cpu heat (and this boards lack of working multis - even with bios flash) kept me from trying for more.
I see many getting in the 260-275 range. Ife 90% of DFI boards can beat competitors fsb, then I will nod my head in approval. If they cannot, then I question the necessity of upgrading to them. I sure don't need any UV reactive stuff, and am always happy to volt mod my stuff to whatever I need.
No I don't expect 300fsb - but I do expect to knock on its door, like knocking on the ddr500 door with my old infinity at ddr490.
that said, I think this hemming is really jsut an a$$ covering maneuver. I do think they will offer very good performance, my only concern is for stability and quality to go with it.
of course, i will be buying one...if the price is under $130. the $90 fo rhte old infinity was its best feature - besides the fact that it looked 8million times better than the lanparty.
You preorder it on there website...I contacted DFI about it...I am going to preorder it and it is selling for $129.99
I know I am expecting performance from this MB for damn sure. This MSI one I have now sucks!! It has hardly any options for anything on it. I didn't research this board very well when I first got it. I am expecting to get atleast 2.4GHz with my CPU. I have a good version of the ClawHammer. I infact have the same one as what BigToe was using when he broke the record I believe...It matches the same information in CPU as mine...the C0 steppings.
When I get this the first thing I am doing is going to my good friends that loves overclocking and we are going to play with this that is for sure.
Question to all you 64-Bit users right now...what are good temps to shoot for...what is the max temp that is safe anyway?
Thanks...
Congrats Tony to breaking the record! Keep it up and I also still need a 9800 Heatsink and Fan if anyone is really to give me one.
I have 2xA64's 1x3200+ and 1x3400+ both are 1mb cache and C0 stepping. Remember for pushing the board I only used 1 dimm and played with memory divider ratio's as well as cpu multipliers to get the awesome clocks. Both cpu's do 2.4gig or so with the stock cooling I was using, I did cool the board on both sides of the cpu as well as cooled the dimm.Quote:

The board at high load and speed did get warm so would get hot with no cooling...something to remember i feel ;)
To finish here..I USED to mod boards, I USED to use phase change etc...now I test with standard hardware and careful air cooling...tweaking is an art which im sure you all will love learning and perfecting on this new 754.
I'm happy with the price. More than the epox (which was my backup board). But less than I was expecting. I'll probably be picking one up after I see a few good opinions of the retail boards. (Got stung by everyone swearing how amazing AN7 was prerelease... bought it day of release, got a damaged and dead board due to a manufacturing error in the rev 1 boards.)
When are socket 939 boards expected?
Thats hard to say..I have asked and I am promised one to preview here for you guys as i have done with the 754.Quote:

Soon I hope ;)
Thanks for the information.
Isn't the 3700+ socket 754? I want a socket 939 processor... Mainly for the wider memory bus, possibility to upgrade later...Quote:

Plus I'm not incredibly intrested in a mobile. I'm going to overclock, but not if I have to sacrifice performance to do it ;-)
Depends on the CPU in perfromance cause the socket 754 A64 3400 is faster then the equivalent A64 3500 which uses socket 939.
I am going for socket 939, but that's my personal opinion.
Do you guys think I should go for the mobile 754 (cost?) or go for the 939 for future upgrading potential?
The 3700+ is regular processor. Where are you getting mobile from?Quote:

Also, the the Socket 754 board is coming first. I don't see a reason to wait even longer for 939 when the 3700+ is available on Socket 754. With PCI Express and DDR II coming, it's not like you're going to stick with either board for long.
OK, not a mobile then.
First of all, doesn't the 939 have a wider memory bus?
Why would you want the 754 over the 939?
