maybe even more extra power for those cascade folks who want to shove enough volts down AMD64 cpus to hit 4ghz hehe

if this board had a creative SB live 24bit chip on it (vs their Kajan-whatever chip) then it would be the ultimate mobo... in my speculation. :) I like the request for a collected MOSFET config for better active cooling also... anyways, I am so sick of my MSI neo4... damn voltages are so whacked out on it... I am jumping ship to this expert series DFI SLI DR board, just been waiting for it to come out. Very soon now! yeah! :D

I disagree about the integrated SB Live making the board an 'ultimate' board. For good sound, people will get a stand alone card like the cheapest X-Fi, which would kill the SB Live.

Woot !

Thank you DFI .. He he

I could care less about the silicon image. Lets hope the ddr volts dont sway around like Tarzan in the Jungle. I was tossing this or the Crossfire board around, Expert takes it as ATI gets a pass for the first run on Crossfire.

Expert at DFI's site!!

Lets hope the egg gets this soon. Or maybe even Microcenter.

Anyone ever figure out if this board will have SLI X16?

Same SLI config as before.
Same chipset.

Each x16 slot operates at x8 bandwidth. When the graphics cards are connected
via the SLI bridge, the total bandwidth of the two graphics cards is x16.

that depends on what you are doing with it.. if you just have it hooked to a simple gaming surround speaker set, like the X530 or something, the Xfi would be a waste of $$ imo... the SB live24 bit is a very decent sound solution... and I value not having to slap extra cards in my case... but that's me... as always, imo :)

Plus it would block part of my rad i that last top (BTX config) slot. doh!

Yeah thats one of my concerns with this board, I dont know if I can get my SB Audigy 2ZS high enough on the PCI slots to clear my Iwaki Pump, Its pretty damn big.

its a different chipset altogether.
has 2 'bridges'
a true NB and a SB.
and also supports a full 16 lanes per PCI-E port when in SLI... not that you'd need it anyways.

Remember, socket M2 is next year. I wouldn't buy the 16x SLI simply because by the time games used it, it'll be on the newest platform.

Hehee....well expect to be waiting until the end of next year until there's a M2 platform for regular end-users.
BTW, I stated that OPB talked to Oskar last week and eta was mid Oct. Well, OPB spoke again to him a couple of days ago and now it's looking like the board's gonna be delayed ~1 month. :(

Which board is going to be delayed 1 month? This one? I thought it was already for sale at ncix.

Not saying it will happen or that it won't but this is the reply I got from www.ncix.com about the pre-ordering of the SLi-DR Expert. Hopefully it will be there. If not I am not hurting for it anyway but would be nice.

Your order will be in stock at our warehouse @ oct 17.
Thanks for waiting and choosing NCIX.COM.

I think the quote you replied to was saying that if there was an 8 pin power connector, then why did the board still have a floppy power connector on it for power input.
