The best option IMO is VIA. Everyone wins.

Well as Ati is nowhere near producing the driver yet for using more than one card and rumour has it that it will be Q205 then at present you are only left with nvidia video cards to choose from anyway.

If you are going Sli then chipset speed is not really an issue, if you are going single card then feel free to go VIA, but considering the complete disaster that VIA have shown in the past trying to get AGP/PCI locks to work I would not feel confident them getting the PCIe lock to work either.

I had 3 via AMD K8 boards and eventually ended up with nforce3 , saying everbody wins with via rings very hollow in my experience.

Link?

thanks.

It's in sweden so I dont know if it's possible for you to pre-order from there but sure, www.overclockers.se :D

I can't wait to get my hands on this board. Seems like I just finished setting up my current rig and they just have to come out with another killer mobo :)

I pre-orderd the UT SLI board. I dont relly got use for the other stuff there comes with the other versions.

I have ordered the DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR and i will run it with a ATI X850XT PE. Would this combo work without any problem, or should i choose a other DFI NF4 board? Money is no problemo :banana3:

Where did you order it? What is the expected ship date?

Probably not much point paying the extra for SLI board with a x850 unless you plan on changing to nvidia any time soon?

Dave

Exactly as you cannot run SLI with ATI for the time being :rolleyes:

I have preorderd a DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR at www.overclockers.se. Worth to mention is that they ship to Denmark and Norway to.

The card I ordered cost 2095SEK / 6.75 = 310$

Expected shiping day 2005-01-29

Pre-ordered :D

Mine cost 2245SEK, coz of the shipping all the way to Denmark. Either way, it'll be here in February! I think i'm in the top10 pre-ordered, if not, then im screwed :p:

Yeh, but it would kick a$$!

The interesting thing is that middle jumper between the 2 16x slots. If that thing is made so you don't need the little pcb bridge connector, then maybe DFI is on to something? I wish someone asked vivian about that during the interview.

Available for pre-order in the UK here now :cool: - http://www.cpucitystore.co.uk/catalo...roducts_id=648

Its funny, those stores which come first get everything :D

DTP in dk will have it online about 5 days, but shame im gone the next week! So it looks like overclockers.se will have first pick :)

I changed my order to DFI lanparty UT nF4 Ultra instead because i´m gonna use ATI. No SLI or NVIDIA for me. Estimated date 29 january in sweden :cool:

I really do hope so but i wouldnt advise people to spend extra money on an SLI one unless we had some sort of evidence of any ati card working in any nforce 4 mobo which we dont.
