I know they don't have the nice feature set, but perhaps the DFI 680i LT will? it's due out any day now.. but I am unsure if the OCing fix for quads is a feature of the LT chipset or just a fix on the motherboard in general.. thus it's possible DFI's offering might not yeild the same good numbers.. I'm waiting to hear..

Thas good to know. With regards to the DFI boards, from a review (i think) on VR-Zone the revelant mods for the GTLRef Voltage has already been implemented, which would explain the better clocks on Quads.

I think it will still be a bit amusing with all these Mobo manufactures stating Native 1333fsb for Quads, that when those CPU's come out there not going to work at all unless they have quite a high Multi so you dont need above 320fsb.

Thanks for teh response though, the main thing i was after were the Sata ports, hence the Gigabyte board.

I cant complain over night i just encoded some 200 ep's of teh Simpsons and on my old machine that literally wouldve taken 4-5 days LOL. But then again thats not what half these forums are about it's how FAST you can get your System.
