Well as much as Canada is a nice place to visit in the summer, The Red does clash with the White of the motherboard. Now If the motherboard were Red and the parts that are red were White then It would be just fine. Otherwise It looks like part of a Polar Bears fur with some Blood on It. Of course putting It in a Non windowed case would compensate for Its looks too.

Edit: whoa.. theres a THIRD.. what.. ARE those? :stick:

yeah, thats a feature I've always liked about those giga boards, a second BIOS chip. But three...whoa! Could be nice, for those who like to try out new BIOS'es. That way you've got your stock, your modded, and your whatever BIOS ready to go :D but who knows (other than ATI) if those are all for BIOS chips.

yeah, that board isn't directed at us either :) It seems more like a motherboard for your mom who can't use computers very well. Basic board.

will sapphire Xpress 200 allow SPD'd PC2700 modules to run at DDR400 and higher ?

i.e. BH-6 ram mostly SPD PC2700 on some boards like MSI K8N Neo2 will force DDR333 divider and ignore DDR400 set option in bios

Looks like Danger Den is the one building the blocks. Copper bottoms. Check out the barbs fitted on the block.. Noticed their chromed and O-ring'd?

Not a bad looking board indeed. Now just for some bios shots and I might be more impressed.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

This is insane.. this impresses me more than the DFI.

I think some of those bios chip sockets are for SATA chip bioses. I hope one is "dual-bios" style, though.

I'll wait until I see actual performance shots of it. These days there's a lot of glamour and little performance. The ABit Fatal1ty board I hear isn't as good as it's cracked up to be considering it's specifically going towards gamers and OC'ers....mainly meaning it's performance doesn't justify the increase in price.

Not particularly fond of that ATI's boards colorscheme either, but that wouldn't matter assuming it proved to be a really good board.

As I said though, I'll wait to see some performance reviews of it before claiming "I found my next board"

Are we really going to be benefiting from watercooled mosfets?
