EDIT

Me too .... I'll wait for some reviews to pop up and some XS "results" before I decide to get one.

dam, wish I am in the US !!!! that board gonna cost around 170 quid in the UK (that around 300USD :mad: ) :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

ordered one, will report ASAP.
I'd like to wait too, but i had no choice. I have an active RMA with newegg for this RDX200 and i only have a week or so before i have to mail it out.
I just hope it doesn't kill my CPU by then :banana:

ordered one .. hope i dont regret it

Spoke to DFI again. They did get the boards today, but Monach does NOT have any yet. Monarch said the 11th on a call just now. I would predict that Zip and maybe one or two others may have stock listed as early as tomorrow. Just FYI.

looks like Monarch is pulling the same trick like they did with Opty again....they ought to change the 'In Stock' status to 'In stock soon' for real! :stick: I'll wait for newegg instead.

They admited to me they do NOT have them and won't till around the 11th. they are in Georgia and it stands to reason that DFI will get the first boards they recieved today to california resellers first.

In the current state of thing I wonder how well this product is positioned in the market.

With the NF4 x16, ATI chip, etc and the M2 socket on the way...

Don't get me wrong, a nice toy to have but the timing seems less then ideal. Would like to have this in my hands 4 months ago, not necessarily today. Just my thoughts..

I cancelled. 2nd Day shipping shouldn't take more than 6 days. :nono:

yeah i called them back .. and it wont ship until this friday .. so the soonest i would have it would be tues :(

i guess ill just keep my order i guess

finally someone that won't stuff us around with a proper review...........looking forward to your thread :toast:








in terms of availability through Monarch.......either you guys are really lucky or these companies are pulling your leg again...........our main DFI distie has given us some crap news regarding these mobos......soooooooo it looks like I'll be getting an UltraD or Asus Premium board........

anyone knows what comes in the package???? the same as the previous sli dr ??? or more things?

Was just about to order but I want to see what OPP does with his first and if he kills his FX-57. The reviews are gonna make it or break it for me. The board will decide if i go with 2xX1800XT or 2x 7800 GTX Ultra. If this mobo is a overclocking super star without any major probs then this is what Im getting

I cant resist do I buy one now or no? I sitll need to wait for the 14th to pickup the R1800xt or 7800gtx but will these be in stock or soldout?

WWM, any comparation with the non-Expert, is there a real improvement in clocks/performance with this new revision ?
