What language is this?, Swedish?....can anyone translate. The layout and general design looks exactly the same as the X38 models. In fact the X48 chipset is supposed to the simply binned higher, for speed. I'd say the only real differences is in bios and outer box, i doubr any new features or revisions to the PCB have been made compared to the X38 models...but we'll soon see.
it's Turkish .... http://www.nordichardware.com/news,6966.htmlQuote:

here is a quote that i found:

The X48-DQ6 has 'official' support for the 1600 MHz FSB and should arrive by the end of the year.
Gigabyte makes the ugliest boards i have ever seen.....besides the x38 gigabyte i had, had issues, why would this be any better,
Maybe they're pulling an Asus: Using the X38 filler board to debug. Figure out the problems, tweak, drop in the X48, and PROFIT.
:rofl: they didnt debug their x38 yetQuote:

3.Wait and keep the hope up for better memoryperformace for 4 slotusage on the X48-DQ6 since that board supose to be DDR2 and at the same time loose the opertunity to get the limited edition of the Formula SE?
Personally i love the Gigabyte colour scheme, one of the reasons i buy, i'm on my 7th Giga mobo :DQuote:

When it comes out,
yeah it will take a little while yet
:)
Richard were you surprised they will have the X48
i mean you would have heard about it and all sure little confusing why you'll peeved there heh
in regards to color, how long do you gazed at a motherboard?
According to several German & Austrian shops it will be available on the 19th of november..

Hmmm...box appears to say DDR2.
But this one is faster - The other X48 - :D
haha how's it faster Gary :DQuote:

It is just faster, over one tenth of a second in SP 1M for one, 3DMark01 is over 43 points higher, so imagine how much faster real world applications would run, just boggles the mind. :rofl: Until the BIOS's are tuned, there is not a real difference yet between the two chipsets besides "official" 1600FSB support.Quote:

really sorry to hear that
i hope the kid pulls through
i have a couple of little ones and i know it would be really hard to see them going through all that after seeing my old man fight it for 3 years :(
Time bump this thread:
http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3189
my max OC with QX9650 is only 460MHz FSB ... and very bad RAM timings ... on Asus Maximus Extreme i can use CL7 at 1800MHz, on this Giga board is stable 1800MHz only at CL9!
