thanks for the update, sneaky

I'm sure we're all looking forward to Monday, then :)

theres a great review that lists all the features on anandtech or THG (i forgot) but just google for a review of the board

Hey sneaky I'm Adam Moore #32 on the list. You can go ahead and track me by my xtremesystem forum name now.

Alright guys, I have an update:

Right now the channel warehouse only has revision 302 boards, and they checked with Intel about the availability of revision 304 boards, and right now Intel is still only shipping 302 boards until they run the stock down.

He advised me to check back in 2-3 weeks and hopefully Intel will be shipping 304 boards by that time.


Will update this thread again as soon as I get more information

Update again:

the guy at the channel had older tech documents and order numbers for the boards, but I gave him the new info for the 304 boards and he's gonna call intel again the first thing in the morning to see whats up with the 304 boards with the new info

cool, keep us posted
I'm holding off on my fresh install of windows until I get this board

Sneaky,

Sent you an email from my alternate email addy with a question.


Thx

Thanks for the update Sneaky.

I'm sure it will be alot of returns when these boards hit the stores with the old revs lying around, esp in remote locations that dont have much circulation of these boards, like here in Norway :)

I'm happy to wait for the good revision.

Any update, sneaky? :)

I talked to him tonight and he said no new news. Mabey tomarrow.

Fingers crossed! :)

Hello Sneaky,

I have sent you a gmail, I want in.

Thanks

still no news as of 7:30AM... possibly tonight


added 2 more people to the list to complete the 40, yet thoes 4 people still havent sent me any confirmation or tried to contact me in any way

i'll send them a final PM tonight and then they're gone

Sweet I can finally post, anyways heres a bump for an e-mail sent yesterday. :toast:

Sneaky,

Number 6 and number 35 on the list are duplicates.

Sorry guys but I have to ask, I didn't see Cedar Mill cores mentioned as being supported by the bad axe. That will work won't it?

Thanks

Would there be any chance of getting one in Germany?
Meaning would it be possible for me to order one and have you send it to the Germany?

yes this board support all current LGA chips. And he did say world wide shipping, so I think you are ok:)

i will ship world wide as long as the buyer pays for the shipping

Thanks for your fast reply.
I will wait until anything new comes around and let you knw if I'm in or not.

here's the "mod" for the ADP3189 (8-bit Programmable 2- to 5-Phase Synchronous Buck Controller):

Yes but it's E6600 and i965 or bust for me, I want ICH-8 anyway.

Any word on the boards Sneaky?

Availaability and the last few that haven't confirmed?
