Yes, WHEN? :gamer:

I hope it comes out around the time the ATI R520 comes out, because that's the determining factor in how I build my new rig. :toast: :D

I just wanna get one of these new DFI boards and see how much they fixed the damn thing.

I don't think the new socket will require a new chipset per se. After all, the memory controller IS on the CPU. The only reason to change the chipset is to add features...so the question is for me, what new features do they need to add to the chipset?

Heheheh, I use an add in card, I hate onboard sound. There's always some crap going on with onboard sound. I'll stick with my soundblaster, definitely better performance.

they would put 2x16x pci-e on the northbridge, rather then have it split up like the ydo right now, probsbly put in matrix raid support... not sure if they would do onboard sound as that would require a southbridge and nvidia doesnt seem to want to go in that direction.

OH NOES! I just realized after a more recent picture, they dropped the Promise controller in favor of the 3114r :O. No!!!!

Is that the 3114r or a SATA300 controller?!

I was hoping this board would have 8 sata300 ports liek I initially thought!

cantankerous

weird, two pictures each showing a different SATA controller and slightly different places for the Sata adaptors too. I thought it was the Promise adaptor as well and hope it is, as I am getting sick of this SiL BS.

EDIT... looks like it really is the 3114 yet again

BTW... for anyone in Canada, ETA is the 29th of Sept at NCIX.

it still can have 8, i mean, 4 on the si3114 and 4 on the nf4 16x.

I know thats not good. I have 4 SATAII drive and 4 Raptors both in Raid 0. They both probably max out the damn SATA150 bus :(.

They max out your 133 MB/sec PCI bus anyway so SATA is not the bottleneck.

Need a lot of ports to hook up some old disks to use for backups? :confused:
