SLI is a feature which can be enabled using a hacked driver, regardless of the chipset which is on the mobo ;)Quote:

IIRC, Coolaler's already run SLI on the CURRENT DFI rd580 Board (s939).....Quote:

Although im sure ati will go to great effort to make sure SLI doesnt work in the final, do you think it will still be hackable, and ifso, how hard will it be (ie, driver hacks like the ULI patch or will it involve the bios)
I sure hope they clean up those chokes and capacitors near the CPU. Those right in back of the socket (toward the backplane) are simply TOO close.
Why no replies or updates, im really interested in this board :(
Be patient, Conroe boards will be popping up soon. I'm curious to see DFI's LanParty UT RD600-T2R/G. Wonder if you could enable a hack for Quad-SLI, lol.
There probably haven't been many updates becouse of this.
@ coolaler. Could give some results on motherboard?
And if one can know the exit date, better :D
Greetings
If nVidia release another double card for DX10 then they'll win on power, if both companies stick with singles, from what I've read, then ATi. I think that ATi are trying for another generation leap like they did with the 9700Pro, and I don't think nVidia are ready.Quote:

Interesting stuff.
The features of the board sound great.
Hopefully it wont take to long until first boards with the RD600 hit the stores...
What's the lowest expansion slot? It doesn't look like it's in a normal position.
i would say its a PCIe 4x slot but im not sure
I would guess it's a CNR slot. It's not PCI-E, those all start at the same point and the length of the first "section" is the same.Quote:

I'd like to see more pics of that ATI System Management thing. I imagine, though, that too is far from release.
I may wait for a DFI or ASUS version of this chipset for Conroe.
Just so you know, Sapphire will probably be the ones to produce these boards. It will in all likelyhood come out when Intel is ready to introduce a next gen chip and then probably have almost next to no bios/driver support for it. From their AMD track records, don't expect this board within the next 3 months or so AFTER COnroe comes out.
nice, surprised u got the sli to work
That connector has been on mobos since PIII times, anyone here has ever seen anything that uses it? Modems were the candidates, but everyone I saw was ISA/PCI.Quote:

I would like this motherboard to come out at the same time that the conroe, but I believe that it won't be this way :(
