Which e-tailer will be the first to offer the board? How many are slated for the USA?
Man this board will carry many sleepless nights from me I see already... I just can't wait for it, it's just so great. DFI and Tony are really the best! :toast:
It's just so weird that there will be no more divider problems, but I say :woot:
Just :clap: for DFI...
How about which e-tailer will be the first to charge an insane price for the board? (assuming supply is limited)Quote:

Less than 100 boards coming to the USA, The EGG will have them. They will be onsale before Xmas I am told although i could NOT get a firm date.
I can show bios shots and clocks but no benches. Bingo13 has the exclusive and we have to respect DFI's wishes to look after chosen reviewers. We will drop hints etc so don't think we will just stop feeding info.
more soon.
Damn less then a hundred boards for the US means like 10 for Europe =/Quote:

what, like 500 boards EXIST at this point? What has been going on for the past 6 months? Ugh....
There will be more boards, its just near xmas thats all.
more goodies for you all. take a look.
1200DDR 3d stable, still tweaking but this shows some potential to be as good as i680 for dram overclocking. This is 8500EPP part from OCZ micron IC and 6 layer PCB. As soon as I have Flex here I am sure I will break 1300+ easy.
More soon
RGone over on the Street closed his thread, but will any of them be posting here with their results? When will we see more of other reviewers stuff?Quote:

Tony if you have konstant any contact with DFi could you ask about availability for Europe? Before XMS? After? And an estimate on how many boards?
And Isn't EPP an nVidia thing or does AMD/Ati have a licens to use it too? Or am I just plain old wrong?
Their is no EPP hook in bios, I was just quoting it is an EPP part.Quote:

We will have more later today and will include BIOS screen shots.
So which one of your arms and legs you like teh least?Quote:

Seems RD600 for X-Fire
680i for SLI.
Seems both chips act pretty close to the same from initial reactions.
Tony what about ZZF, are they getting any boards? They have had the page for the board up for forever.
Well, after looking at the manual I downloaded, that BIOS is by far the most intensive one I have ever seen. I have to agree with RGone that it will indeed be a time consuming process to set that board up. But I know a lot of us have nothing better to do than spend a few sleepless nights tinkering with a new Lanparty board for our Conroes ...:p:Quote:

100 boards only? I got a bad feeling about this, It will probably go for more than Striker.
Is this board listed on newegg?
I cannot find it.
