go through froogle and it's $6 cheaper. :)
edit: unfortunately wizbunny code stops working
ohh wow thats not fair ...
Ouch.... :( This seemed a good candidate for my next build but the price is too high. Seems like the Asus P5N-E SLI will be on my shopping list.Quote:

Mines on the way, should have it by Tuesday. The BX2 has been a very rough ride for me, hopefully the jumper parade will stop........
Thanks! Waiting for April 22 Intel price cuts to get an E6700 or Q6600, not sure yet. I'll do a test build with my friend's E6600.Quote:

I'm looking forward to the first XS DFI P965-S testing thread!
LOL, looks like all he does is benching. Never knew you could get too powerful a cpu for that.:p:Quote:
I have come to realize this processor is too powerful for what I do.
Look at the names.Quote:

Nah I don't need CF, and the board has hit 500FSB with a 6600 and 4GHZ clocks. Granted I am not an expert, but I really think this will be one of the best DFI boards they have put out.Quote:

If you feel you must have the power of two GPUs grab a 8950 when it's released.
Besides being hot, the 680i reference boards have had too many problems for my tastes. Hard disk data corruption when they were first released and lately some weird issue with memory.
Well if this board is good then I will have to hop on it. How does it compare to the P5N-e sli?
Yea thats a great idea. The old 7950 was damn fast onced O/Ced.Quote:

I love my optical drives (IDE) but I'll still go the DFI over the Asus, which I was previously considering - purely for the overclocking satisfaction.Quote:
