i am sure rd600 will be better,but this waiting is killing me,I have a x6800 that will do almost 5ghz on a phase,but can't really use it since I'm waiting for a board that won't need vmods to run 1.8v vcore and will stretch my cellshocks 1000 legs...
I bought my RAM, and am waiting on the CPU and MB. I know Im getting a 6600, but I want to get them at once....
If the RD600 board is not released soon, I'm jumping ship to a 680i board. I would guess that a lot of others will too...
I really dont understand the DFI marketeers...680i popping out from all over the place and DFI decide to keep quiet. They are loosing out to other board makers with everyday that goes by. Come on DFI throw us a freaking bone here ;)
The new Abit i690 has Digital VRM so I'm very tempted to jump ship.
I have two questions though:
1: Will RD600 be less power hungry?
2: Will the RD600 support Quad Core?
Boo! :DQuote:

I'm tired of 20 bugs with every board, and I'm thinking this board will be worth the wait. Oskar Wu FTW. :woot:
Just found out that the 680i is heavy on the juice... The power consumption in idle is almost as high as an 975x on load. And as the Rd600 is basically a refined 975X I will keep on waiting for the RD600. I also prefer the Lanparty. Always the best bios, period.
So, ur Cheese has got grip of the cracker again! :DQuote:

I can't even stop refreshing the "today's postings" to see the RD600 board perform or any pics of this beauty :toast:
Also a 680' DFI Lanparty will please me ..!
I hope the RD600 will be on retail within two week or so..
The missing part of my setup!
Is this something new or did you mean 680i? :DQuote:

A consumer or company can never be kept happy in the motherboard game, it's chicken and egg all the way.
I don't feel I've been screwed by the wait at all..If it's not worth it, then the other motherboards will still be available...
Until I see some real results from trusted friends on these new motherboards, I'm sitting back and waiting for the charlie prices to drop..

Wonder what memory the board will favor.... !?
i'd expect that micron d9 should work well based on it's popularity among overclockers..
I jumped ship on the 860i but if this upcomming board is the :banana::banana::banana::banana:. I may just have to build another comp just to have it. P5b at the moment is not impressive.
I'm looking forward to picking up RD600 when it is released. I like the layout of the 680i board, and the performance seems to be pretty good based on the reviews, but I'm more likely to be using an AMD graphics card in crossfire mode than vis versa. I'm not sure if the "extras" on the 680i board are worth their weight in gold either.
Lol, I'm currently using the DP965LT Intel board, so don't talk to me about "not impressive." :p:Quote:

I think the 680i is nice but seriously nvidia needs to work out power consumption on their chipsets. I mean the NForce 4 Ultra's were always complained about being hot. The 975X seems to use about the same amount right? or the 965P even more. Then this chipset uses another 20W. I don't think the chipset should be putting out 40W heat? maybe 50 I guess...
Dudes be courteous to dfi. They want this board released as badly as we do. Dr. Wu is working around the clock to ensure we get a nice bios and everyones happy. He's been drinking gallons of Bawls for days and not sleeping properly. Be nice. THis board is going to kill all! :toast:
I hope! :woot:
Everyone needs some patience. We have tons of new technology out and coming out so we need to first give it a little room and testing to find out what is king of the hill. I am sure that a lot of us are too broke to go around buying a bunch of boards to test them, so let us give the people who will review these boards some time also, they want the same thing as us in the end and that is the best board out there. Do you really want to jump into the unknown on a hope and a prayer?
So can we at least know when the NDA will be lifted, or is that under NDA? :lol:
all the ship jumpers will be back when r600 crossfire kicks G80 up the ass.

^ great news, thanks. :toast:
I just got my L628B E6600 tonight, my RAM is comin next week, and I am fighting the 680i hype to see what the DFI RD600 looks like.
DFI....lost another long time customer! I went out and ordered the very promising asus striker. They just took 2 long leaking any kind of info on that board whatsoever.They seem to not know the importance of timing when releasing a product(specially in a very competetive niche market).While ASUS,EVGA,ABIT etc already have theirs shipping out, DFI is happy to sit back and not respond @ all.
i just hope its not as hot as any other boards.. :d for me that is the ticket for this board to succeed.. :woot: i hope DFI is observing their competition.. If they slip a little bit.. they will loose there grounds..
waaaaa.. the waiting is killing me..
I'm not worry on whether this Mb will hit the store,, I'm more concern whether DFI will give full support (e. g., fine tune bios) after the released of this "Intel" MB .. :(
I think they will have full support for this board.. :D i think it will be a LANParty.. :)
The 680i has been impressive, ATI and DFI have their work cut out :0
Heres the latest rumor Linky
If thats true, its to bad they couldnt get it out a bit earlier, although if it does turn out to be the best chipset for the intel chips, it would be kinda funny having your competitor making a better chipset for your own chips.
It wouldnt be that surprising if it were, considering how intel controls the market with a leash.
I predict it will be like some crazed freaky frankenstein of a board, one boot it'll do 600fsb x11 stable and the next it'll be sparking and making horrible high pitched whining noises from the capicitors, filling the air with the smell of burnt ozone :flame::wierd:
I hope its not "Intel" pride..
really looking forward for this.. :)
i really hope we will get full driver support from AMD/ATI on this board.
i would hate my pc being instable just because the drivers suck c:banana: :banana: :banana:
Do you think the DFI engineers facing too much pressures due to the "extremely" high expectation of the RD600?? that why they keep tuning the bios .. :D just my thought..
who gives a :banana::banana::banana::banana: if it overclocks high if your only multiple gpu option is going to be dated crossfire. Who is going to buy a platform that is already eclipsed months before its even out. Good luck waiting another 3 or 4 months for those r600 video cards.
I believe whoever said it was allready in production, they can release bios code later. Will they ever look to revise the board version though if needed..Quote:

Ask and yea shall receive
AMD's first Intel mobo to arrive in December
DFI preps RD600 board

Yeah I seem to remember the same exact things being said since august. :banana::banana::banana::banana: the rumors, they haven't even had ES samples as of yet. Honestly I was waiting for this board, but now it can kiss my ass. IMHO, anyone still waiting for this board is about 2 months too late. There's much better options out NOW.
I waiting since august too, and I'm very boring of my beta motherboard(oups... motherboard) asus p5wdh :mad:
They have had ES samples out for several weeks. I can promise you this board has gone through extensive testing, several design improvement cylces, and a BIOS tuning exercise that has been incredible. It is later than originally planned but will probably hit the market before most of the "custom" 680i boards. Of course, none of this matters if it does not perform up to expectations. I think it will for the most part. ;)Quote:

Waiting so long on the RD600 board is a joke. those of us who bought P965/975X based boards in july have been using the topnotch for a long time. Waiting half a year on the RD600, if it should be better is useless. Then you can just aswell wait on bearlake chipets another half year away and so on. RD600 will just come too late to the party and arrive when all the people have gone home.
AGREED !!!! :toast:Quote:

You guys are going to be singing a different story when the board wipes the floor with everything else on the market. x1950 crossfire is good enough until R600 and there is still the possibility of hacked forceware drivers for 8800GTX SLI.
I don't understand how people can rip on DFI for waiting until RD600 is perfect to release it. You've all got your DS3's and P5B's to keep you busy until then...

No, there is an NDA on that date. :D I have asked DFI if we can give an approximate date on the board today. I do know it will be shipping on --/--/2006 . ;)Quote:

There were details of the chipset given on this board, it looked ok for such a quick botch together sample. Pricepoint is what Iam wondering about, if it costs the same as the 680 I will just buy a secondhand ds3 or something as people with bigger budgets will no doubt be upgrading.
Ive seen a 945gz for 30, Im tempted just to buy that and forget about it.
The merger of these companies undoubtly delayed this board, not sure if thats a case for complaint, more a special case
Once again, more unsubstantiated dribble. Since you have so much info, you must know who killed Kennedy to right?Quote:

my DS3 was supposed to be a stopgap until the RD600 came out...
with the sucessful launch of the 680i, I am starting to re-think my plans...
there's so much "ATI's new part is gonna be so badass" but these awesome parts never come out. I'm getting tired of waiting.
where is my rd600? where is my r600?
just curious, but what advantages is the RD600 supposed to have over the 680i?
R600 was never supposed to be out now with the info in the past 3 months. When vista got delayed so did R600
When it does come out, it will be cheaper ?
I doubt it.

This thread should be put to sleep and wake up when the m/b is released, cause for now it's just useless. My :2cents:...
It is "supposed" to be highly overclockable and have independent clocking for the cpu and memory so no more dividers. So basically, you are able to set your memory to it's fastest speed and the cpu to it's fastest speed independent of one another. :)Quote:

Noone's making you wait for this motherboard. I have time and I'm perfectly satisfied really. The only reason I want it out faster is so that I can finally get a list of how exactly my build is going to go.
Didn't a tree kill kennedy while he was skiing?
The R600 was supposed to come out when vista came out. Vista has been delayed so the R600 has been delayed. Not really hard to see that.
Bingo13 mentioned a 2006 release date so that means anywhere in the next 51 days. It could be a surprise release and be out tomorrow or it can wait for thanksgiving/christmas to make the biggest sales splash possible. It is seriously hard to wait less than 2 months for one of the other boards to come out and then be compared and for prices to drop on other boards you may be looking at?
Too many people are confusing RD600 with R600.
for the record RD600 goes inside a motherboad
R600 goes in a videocard
680i has the same feature u can OC CPU and ram independant ;) so i hope we will see DFI 680i MB:fact: :woot:Quote:

Why will RD600 not be supported? I can understand the hardware that might not be supported, but will the BIOS be worked on after the release?
I expect it to be supported by DFI for at least a year after release. To release a board and then instantly stop supporting it, no matter how good a board no one would buy it and then look down on the company from then on. It would be a business damning like no other.
Not necessarily true. DFI stopped supporting the CFX3200-DR a long time ago. :rolleyes:Quote:

On second thought, I haven't banned anyone yet today so maybe those PM boxes won't be necessary afterall.....hmmmmm.
