Seriously, why do you compare Grouper to SLI? When Grouper is single GFX card based. Also quad SLI is just a gimmick man, for now current PC's can barely get the full benifit out of two GFX cards, nevermind four. :slap:

Yup! Don't buy anything dood! I mean after all, something will come out in a while and beat it too :fact:

but half the fun is having the best.. Atleast for a couple of weeks...
It's like the addiction of trying to set a new record for clockspeed or the highest benchmarks..
It gets in your blood and sticks there...
as for something beating it SOon is complete bullsht...
It will take atleast a couple months... :D

alright, i KNOW this has probably been answered in the 42 page monstrosity but, what's with all the empty bios slots? (aka near the main bios and under the PCI slots) what are they all for?

Thanks IRQ :)

well, hope their out soon, i'm bout to start ordering my A64 system, and i'd love to have an ati chipset dfi board for the new opteron i'm ordering

Are we still on for the end of this week? I have a new system waiting for this board :D.

doesn't even matter. x-fire is a bust as of right now.

x-fire being dual card? if that means ati dual cards are out, that's fine w/ me, but the chipset/board, that's what i'm concerned with

I'm glad I have no ATI stock shares ATM, a couple of years ago they would have been OK but now you could lose your pants :eek:

RDX200 next week, LP UT CF-BT 3 weeks :( but it is coming. DFI are tweaking the memory traces over 4 layers to hopefully boost the overclocking even further, hence the slight delay. They also have had to source all the components to ATI specs..( and they are very high) so that has taken time also.

So you have the choice of 2 crossfire boards from DFI, Oskars RDX200 and the CF-BT, i will have the RDX next week and will report how it is and as soon as i have the CF-BT you know I will be posting.

Hey Tony, when you say next week for the RDX200 is that available to buy or just anounced? If its available to buy, are we talking US only or UK too?

Thanks man.

3 weeks for the CF-BT, man that's perfect for my timing :D
