As to when They will start selling them and when a place like Newegg will have It for sale is anyones guess, April Fools jokes not with standing of course. As there is no such date as April 31st, I could have said February 29th too and It would be just as fake, At least this Year It would be.
I don´t think the Sapphire boards listed at Komplett in Sweden are THE one we are looking for.
It´s listed here:
http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.asp?sku=307925&cks=PRL
I think You may be right, It may turn out to be the other two boards and not the Grouper which I think is for the North American market only, If I'm wrong, so be It. :cool:Quote:

Must say this board + r520 + san diego will make a fine upgrade :banana:
I said I think, Meaning I don't know one way or another. So how is that funny?Quote:

Here: http://www.komplett.no/k/kl.asp?bn=10482 Scroll to the bottom. I really doubt this is "the" board. First of all they do not mention "Gruper", which is the board's name, secondly, it's way too cheap to be the Gruper. I mean, under 900NOK for the costiest one? Doesn't sound right.
Edit: Though, I'm sure I can fire off an email to komplett and ask what boards these are.
ok i've checked it and it's the same as in swe, and i have mailed them and ask what board it realy are, and i agree with you thats way too cheap to be the real gruper, well it's just to wait untill they answer,they can be a little slow here in swe to answer on mail though.. :( but you can test mailing them and see if you can get a faster answer :stick:Quote:

As said as done. Komplett usally answers within a day or two.Quote:

So it will probably take a while before we will se this :( Anyway, i will keep my order so they won't send my other stuff i ordered. Will wait until they get this on the market.. will be nice with 4x512 Twinmos 3500 Speed-Premium and this board. Then i'll probably add an ATI-vid and a Venice core A64. ;)Quote:
Hi Robert,
They are not the same board, the one you seen @ Xtreme Systems is design for over clocking and we don’t have a product number for this board yet!
Best regards,
Sapphire tech
well too bad that theyre not the right board :(Quote:

På så sätt så kommer minnena ligga och vänta på min beställning och jag får dom även om dom skulle vara tillfälligt slutsålda när moderkortet finns i lager. Jag är ganska övertygad på att om dom släpper brädan så gör dom det överallt, jag menar det blir ju bara större vinst.)
yep me too :)Quote:

i really want one of these for my next rig :)
i do have a question tho how do you all know the name of the board is gruper when sapphire dosnt even have a product number for it yet?
none the less wicked board and i love the air/water cooling options it offers cant wait for it to hit e shelfs :p:
