are there already pic's online of the DFI RD600?
if soo, could you be so kind showing them to me. so far i have only seen pic of ATi's "Marlin" reference board

What about the new rev 965 on the P5B, that is supposed to easily hit over 500FSB. This should be just as good for FSB. Although independent memory configuration is something totally different and in favour for the RD600.

There were but they got yanked. Dont think anyone is allowed to post them up here or else XS might get in trouble. :shrug: Maybe on some foreign site?

LOL...fake, ohh man if I told you everything I would have to shoot you straight after I did ..LOL

Oskar has RD600@530 in his IM message, thats usually a good indictator things are going ok once he starts bragging about it ;)

Sure sounds like good news.

As with all mobos, the achieved fsb is much more dependant on the CPU than
the mobo, so this "accomplishment" means very little since we know nothing about
the particular CPU/memory that was used.

Early or late October Tony, if you know that is ;)

I can't wait for this board. 530fsb without the decrease in performance like the 965 chipset. That's a double win.:banana:

why do you think 965 is a decrease in performance over 975?

This board should be amazing, and hopefully within my price range.

Just to check, this is an intel/cf board right? because ive always know dfi to only be sli

I am sure late October because I contact with Oskar_Wu today.

RD600 memory control is so weakness, so it's still slower than 975X and 965. But crossfire is better than 975x.

The most important thing is RD600 price, not performance. I don't know why everyone expect this mobo.

so maybe high fsb but low memory speed?

How much difference will the controller make? I'm just wondering cause memory always seems like the last you'd need to buy... If I'm just buying a 2x1gb DDR-8000 kit will it really make that much of a difference? Or I might buy 667. Memory usually seems to only have a very little impact on real-world performance so...

I agree, it seems that overall fsb is all we need to worry about. That being said if the board is showing a lot of incompatibility with certain types of ram (ala 975XG Infinity), then perhaps it is bad news atm.

Some of the 667mhz kits scale really well, Team Group 3-3-3-8 kit, hits over 1000mhz at cas 4 and it's quite a bit cheaper than the 8000 kit prices..

LOL!!.. Give him a break.. Believe me! ;)

Thanks for the good news. :toast:

At this time, yes. However, still a lot of tuning left to be done now that the FSB is working correctly above 500.

great news, thanks :up: been waiting for this board for quite a while and hoping it'll perform well. Any info on engineering samples or NDA expiry dates?

regards.

im expecting $299 USD or something close to that but not above $300

FCG so you're saying past 400MHz FSB boot that 965=975...someone that sounds far fetched to me
