I have never used firewire in my life. I don't even know what it smells like. Therefore, DFI it is. :D

(it has raid 0 too)
and it has S.O.S, which should mean u would never have to reset the cmos!!!
good for people with asthma and dusty cases :)
hmm... what would you do with the frontx thing if you don't plan on putting it in a case?
Nothing?Quote:

i'll try and sell it on ebay for 5$, cuz i still want the extra 4 sata ports.
get the ut nf4 sli-dr?? still comes with 8 sata minus frontx and diagnostic led thingies
btw im glad that even the dfi nf4-ultra mobos come with the sli-bridge for some pseudo sli :D
ive checked the package contents in the manual for msi nf4-ultra mobo and no sight of sli-bridge...maybe this will make for an easier decision...
oh totally forgot about the UT version.
i'm not even considering the msi neo4 plat anymore. at first i was because i was under the assumption that the DFI wasnt coming until april. now that its released and hopefully in places in the US in the next few weeks for reasonable price, i will be getting it for sure.
Just preordered the DFI NF4 SLI for a friend! http://www.computerhq.com/hardware/p...id-532379.html
Also ordered to go with it:
6800GT EVGA PCI express (monarch)
and will be ordering this tomorrow from excalibur:
2x512 G-Skill pc4400
3200+ winnie
Antec Tru550 24pin
Im hoping the 550 will be enough for a possible future SLI. I told him he may want to wait and see if the one 6800GT is enough for him for now. Hes going from a asus KM400 amd mobo and a 5900xt after all :)
does this combo seem ok? thoughts before i push the spend button on ram/cpu/psu tomorrow? :)
at least i get to see one in action while i wait for the AGP board to come out anyway! :D

not bad on the antec :) you can't go wrong with either OCZ or Antec. the 3200+ winnie should do it but if you want to save 50 more dolalrs go with the 3000+ winnie. As for the G-Skill maybe someone can answer this it for you because i'm not sure myself. It's either BH5 or TCCD for me since the DFI has a 4volts on the vdimm.
Regarding reviews, the performance the DFI achieved on "coaler" is enough, i was sold the moment i saw DDR700 and Vcore2,1 :D
Thank goodness for the NF3 - Really dont want to go about buying ANOTHER x800, after the trouble I had getting my hands on this one
*grumble*backorder for 2 months*grumble*
I'm really glad to see that some decent boards are being released for AMD. Now all we need are the vid cards to go with it. It's damn near impossible to get your hands on a half way decent vid card for PCI-E.
You need to buy yourself a clue...try to use USB to put digital movies on your pc and then comeback and tell us how it worked, among many other things...Quote:

All that junk, I only need the mobo itself :)
Yeh, the top range DFI boards come with sleeving kits :)
"David as this is a DFI board and is not related to Gigabyte at all; I am having this email answered by those in engineering and places of much more position than myself. The ability to do beyond what most 'other' brands of motherboard are capable of doing has "always" required a very competent and non-overrated power supply. That will not have changed with the coming of the NF4 to DFI.
24 pin power supplies are now required due to the change in ATX protocol for the NF4 boards and DFI will likely require the 24pin power supplies is my guess but we will wait for the reply from higher up, sir. XXX...
Sincerely,
XXX"
This is a mail from DFI tech. regarding the use of a 20pin PSU. looks like i'll need to get an OCZ PowerStream while im at it :(
could you just buy a 20 to 24pin powersupply convert?
I have...my USB 2.0 worked great! Few digital camcorders haven't already moved to USB. Practically all digital cameras have.Quote:

Obviously not. The extra four pins in the adapter are placebos. The 24pin includes an extra 3,3, 5 and 12. Something tells me that the DIMM slots are powered by one of these (either the 3,3V or 5V).
The adapter really defies the purpose of the added power to the PCIe slots and the extra ground cable.
At least i have a reason to upgrade from my 430W Antec to the OCZ PS520W :D
I'm debating whether to use that or the Antec NeoPower 480W as its 24pin and has the new cable management system where you plug in what you need and don't have to worry about the cable explosion.Quote:
