A glass case of course, best seen and not heard

we said the same thing about DDR2 u know.

I know, but it doesn't change it a lot..People have this figure in the back of their minds of what an item is worth and today they think 2 gig =$100.00
When they see $500.00 they run away..
Also think on the average guy. He can tuck away $100.00 in 2-3 weeks but saving $500.00 takes a while.
Then there's the performance increase. How much is the person gaining from DDR3?
I'm far from an expert on memory but from what I've seen there aren't huge gains so far/ Some yes, but not night and day like we saw with DDR1 to DDR2..

well its quite funny, 2x1gb high end ddr3 today cost as much as 2x1gb high end ddr2 costed a year ago. the only problem is that atm ddr2 prices are sooooooo low that in contrast ddr3 looks way too expensive. and since intel still uses the ancient fsb bus the extra bandwidth of ddr3 is bottlenecked mostly. as soon as csi is here i suspect ddr3 to blow away ddr2 big time

Hi Pal:
Can't argue with your logic. When people see a huge gain to be made then they will pony up the money for DDR3 but not until then.

THANK GOD I thing it's the FIRST company that has listened us enthousiasts and DIDN'T place ONE big heatsink on the VCore Mos-Fets BUT MANY small ones on each phase.....The "cleverest" thing EVER since now....

But at the same time they placed PCI Express x16 slots too close to each other so it is very difficult to use extreme-cooling on graphics cards

Can't wait to get my hands on one

Same here

Yes I know.......Intel makes "slowly steps" into enthousiast market.....

"Baby steps" is the expression I think you wanted..

LOL

You guys are hilarious.

Did I mention that I'm almost 7 feet tall and nearly 300lbs?

Just picking up a board in my hands is dangerous, if they have big 2 inch long juicy capacitors all over the place, I have a tendancy to break them off with my thumbs...

:P

Hence why I love solid caps... So short and not very easy to break.

Hmm Maybe another week before we start seeing this board in stores?

Gary Key over at Anandtech says Intel has pushed release back to late November.

Anandtech is expected to receive their review board on the 14th.

tigerdirect is selling these now. Anyone have any input yet? I may be tempted to upgrade my badaxe2.
