i don't know, i tend not to trust NCIX - their in-stock/out-of-stock changes like the wind...and they typically don't even have the product...lol

Hi Jared:
The motherboard just arrived today, and your order probably will ship out for you tomorrow.
Thank you,

On your website it shows the DFI Sli-Dr Expert instock. Does this mean you have those in stock and ready to ship? If so do you know when my order will get processed and shipped out. I cannot track the order anymore on the Order Tracking tab so unfortunately I must bother you some to find out. Thanks in advance for any information about my order!!!
Jared

So hopefully they aren't lying and they are really in-stock and going to ship. If it ships I will post pictures when I get it. But not going to hold my breath either!!

I guess now that the Canadain stores have them in stock it's only a matter of time before the U.S. gets them in stock and I'll be able to give my friend's ultra-d back to him and then get my hands on the Expert. :slobber: :toast:

Just to play devils advocate... It is possible that a batch of "revision 1" boards were shipped out that had a few quirks to them. I see no other explaination on how DFI could site manufacturing problems and delay shipment to the rest of the free world.

I for one will be waiting until Newegg goes thru a few batches before picking one up as all these delays and pressure from the community to release= some boards with some quirks.

Maybe the website Bytewise is in Canada(I don't know for sure, But they could be), They sell to the USA among other places and the currency can be changed to the Canadian dollar, US dollar, Australian dollar, UK pounds sterling or the Euro if one wants. So I don't see a problem really. I mean I'd love to order It myself from other places like Monarch or Directron, But It's somewhat early right now and they may sometime later carry It for all I know. Until then It's get It from where one can, When one can. :shrug:

If that's true I would just sell mine on eBay. The demand is so high for them I would get all my money back. I wouldn't expert their to be any major problems given that this is just an update. It isn't a totally new motherboard.

Is there a new chipset coming from Nvidia anytime soon? If so, than it would be smart to hold off. I cant see DFI releasing a 16X board a month after this, than having to support that board either. I think they would get a serious BOO from the crowd.

Im hoping this board ships soon. Im in need.

Well either bytewise was pulling people's legs or they sold out cause this is what it says on their website now.

Quote:

This item has not yet been released. You may order it today, and we'll ship it to you when it arrives at our warehouse. This item will be available in 2 days (Friday, October 28th, 2005).

NCIX is down to 7 according to their stock checker but more than likely if they have them instock they are lower than that. Will be interesting to see if DFI was playing around and missed a deadline or if these etailers are lying and pulling our legs.

Oh well, hurry up and wait!!!! That is the game of pc enthusiasts!!!

i don't think that there will be a new chipset until the release of M2. just doesn't really make sense since it's doing quite well for nvidia right now. milk the market and use that money to R&D for a new groundbreaking chipset. or so i hope. how long was NF2 around?

I was REALLY close to ordering one just now....... But my gut is telling me to wait until some reviews are out on it. AND when it's available in a US store that wont charge 18.00 to ship it to me
