Will the DFI RD600 be the Golden MB?

Exact-a-mundo!

I had my Canterwood 875 for 18 months. Best & most stable rig I have ever owned. :D
Abit IC7 series were damned hot boards. The Asus P4C800E Deluxe took virtually 10 Degrees off all system temps for me & added another 8mhz OC-ability!

This RD600 Chipset is suppose to blow everything away on mem-bandwidth.
Dont buy an nForce5 590 Chipset for Conroe. It uses the Memory Controller from the nForce4 Chipset, thereby reducing memory bandwidth. nVidia are not resolving this until Early 2007!?
Intel 975X appear to be suffering from lack of 400+ fsb's unless you make hardware mods.
With the likes of DFI nF4 SLI DR Expert for AMD, it's a shame they cant make a board of the same Calibre for Intel.
Then again, Hipro5's "Maximiser" might be the answer to it all. ;)

The Maximiser :clap:

*Warning*: It's a long thread.....

Just wondering, are you all basing a motherboard off its overclockablity? I am not really an enthusiast in the sense of getting everything out of a chip. I will overclock the e6600 when I get it, but I am looking forward more to the chip, motherboard, and video card features. I bought the P5w Dh Deluxe and I think the remote feature is awesome.

Then again I am upgrading from a 3 year old pc. I skipped the pentium 4 and AMD 64 bit era competely. I come from a Xp 2500+, fx5200, soltek mobo... you get the point.

Do you guys expect more out of board because you can afford to upgrade from your 7800gtx to the 7900gtx? or from a 4800 x2 to a Conroe? It seems like some of you really go through hardware! [...tell me.. is it bank robbing?]

Just wondering.

old? i'm only 21. the board in my sig has less quirks than any of these intel boards. i don't have to wire mod any crap, i don't have to boot at 201. i NEVER had to buy a cheaper chip cuz my bios would not recognize the new one, i don't have to plug in a million molex's to turn it on.. my dfi pwns you. :slapass:

finally, smoeone with some fraggfing logic... hardware sat on its dead asss for the last 3 years, there had been almost no real reason to justify an upgrade with the exception of intel's marketting... (we all know how those preshotts with 2mb cache beat the northwoods with 512kb... wait they don't)

For me we will never see an Rd600 motherboard for Conroe

I had that board and MSI pwns nf3. For every guy who thought DFI nf3 was the best nf3 board there are at least 10 who think it was nothing but trouble.

It’s outdated now but the DFI nF3 is the original enthusiast’s board, they practically invented the category. Calling it “nothing but trouble” is just plain ignorant.

My next board prolly won’t be DFI.

Did DFI ever fix the RD600 ULI Sata Raid Issue on the Crossfire 3200 Lanparty board

Ner ner, ner-NER ner! :rolleyes:

Lets keep the topic on track fellas!

What's the ETA on this board?

I agree that there is no way to tell, but going my DFi's current track record of intel boards, I'm not expecting much... Hopefully they'll prove me wrong :P

...Eeek....there's a "Quirk" already! You you dont get cr4p "quirks" like this on Intel rigs. :nono:
I have several concerns for buying any other board than an Intel Chipset for my 6600ES.
I can see me waiting till Sept/Oct for this board, only to go buy an Intel 975 Board. I suppose they will be somewhat cheaper by then. :D

Oh Yeah, the LP DFI 3200 uses the RD580 Chipset - The RD600 will be out Sept/Oct time & will prolly have resolved the issue.

tha's cuz the 1 out of 10 ppl aren't nubs

Well at least this thread is interesting in the sense of seeing how varied the opinions will be on this board. This is a clear indication that it is far to early to make any judgement on this board. If it wasn't we would be seeing a far more one sided poll.

Now aint that a conversation killer............:D

I think it would be a good board, but certainly not a spectacular killer. Nobody knows their CPU's better than Intel :)

It will have some unique features no doubt, so it will sell very well IMO.

If that's not enough the DFI 975XE Lanparty is also coming......

i havnt heard of this 975XE, is it actually coming?

So much to those who thought the chipset could only do 420ish tops...;) LOL

bring it on...i know i can't wait now :)

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

It will ROCK!

Just expect DFI releases fast bios updates when needed.

apparently you have never heard of DFI INFINITY 975X/G...

1066 strap is killing me...

abit/asus have 4 975x boards between them can do 400+ out of the box

i think rd600 will be as good as the best 975x and maybe clock a little higher but as for being the wonder board??? i think there's more chance seeing paris hilton read a book.

not fair for me i got inside info :P
