conroe support??
yes ;)

Is it dual 16x PCI-Express?
That is very, very nice. The only thing that could keep this from being a killer board is ATi's tendancy of being late.
EDIT: IT looks like DFI is working on one of these, so that is very, very promising!
Asus pulled that 8 phase bs with the A64 board... Couldnt hold a candle to a dfi.. So, 8 phase is more hype than anything else imho and they increase the price for it.
Looks like a nice chipset though.. I like the physics part.
I think it is, but this board only has 1 pci slot. Not like i need more but still some people do. I'm sill skeptical with this board stability, in my experience intel cpu+ intel chipset = less headake when overclocking
No, it's based on the RD480 chipset.Quote:

is that the PhysiX card or whatever its called cuz it sure looks like an ATI version of it....
That board looks like it's 4-phase. (But any manufacturer can implement what ever design they like)
IMHO, there's too much talk about phases. Often, the more phases, the fewer components, and then it's almost all the same.
Secondly, Conroe won't pull even close to the amount of current as Presler, so if the mobo manufacturers doesn't do something wrong, we're all set.
(Remember, Aopen's Yonah board only has 2 phases with 6 FETs or something, not much compared to normal i975X boards.)
Max FSB, vdimm, vcore options?
Very good point :toast:Quote:

Comments: 4-layer? wtf? also, notice the "peer to peer performance" hehe ;)
DFI is releasing a ATI chip board i think before the 975x board.. Should be a good board. I dont know who else is releasing a ATI chip board. Maybe Abit?Quote:

i.e. right now ATI X1900XTX is the youngest, therefore the best,
but G80 > ATI X1900XTX will come out in couple months , then R600 > G80 will come out end of the year
In my opinion it'd be nice with a board without any PCI-slots at all. It's time for the mobo manufacturers to start being a bit less conservative and embrace new standards instead.Quote:

While I'm on the subject, I also think it's time they put the PS/2 ports, parallell ports, serial ports, FDD ports and PATA ports *phew* to sleep forever. :D
BTW love that scene, theteamaqua :)
There will always be room for legacy stuff in my heart :).
they better have PCI slots im not going to upgrade if they drop them. i just got this M-audio REVO 7.1 about 4 months ago.
Well for those who didn't look at the english translation here it is.
News shared from Taiwan manufacturer, ATi would announce the most powerful Intel CrossFire platform chipset, ATi RD600, in the coming days. It’s temporarily named ATi Xpress 3200 Intel Edition and compatible to the new Intel Conroe processor. It would be manufactured by TSMC with 90nm process.
This product is targeted on enthusiastic user, supporting 1333MHz FSB, Dual Channel DDR2-1066 and providing Split Channel Mode to lower the latency. From the internal testing, a maximum of 1600MHz was reported in the over clock mode with A13 version, which has 6 PCB layers. In addition, the memory clock is independent to the FSB. It sounds good to the fans of over clocking.
ATi RD600 also provides Automatic PCIe Over clocking technology, which is similar to the Boostlink function of nVidia nForce 590SLi. When X1800 or X1900 is detected, the FSB of PCI-E would be raised to 125 MHz or even 150 MHz from 100 MHz automatically. On the mean while, ATi would release ASM for Windows platform, like the nTune by nVidia, providing tweaking options including FSB, Memory Clock, PCIe Clock, Memory Timings and Voltage Adjustment.
Furthermore, it has 48 PCI-E Lanes and supports for 3 PCI-E slots, 2 for CrossFire and 1 for Physics Acceleration. More details for ATi Physics Acceleration will be announced during Computex 2006. For the south bridge, SB600 will be used and it may eventually be coupled with SB650. Now we have no more news for SB650 and RD600 is expected to be launched in the summer.
48 PCI-e lanes thats nice . 3pci-e slots again nice . Looks like ATI is dead serious about PPU
If this chipset works as good as intels. I found the chipset I will be buying for Conroe this thing looks unbeatable. But befor I get to excited Will wait for you guys to buy and test. You guys are better than reviewers the way you push to the limit.
400 FSB is not enough. Needs to be closer to 600 FSB.
I do remember Fugger talkin about ATI is the chipset to have for Conroe. I can now see why he said that. Incredible! Looks like ill get a MSI to hold me over until the DFI comes out.
