    What's with the Chaintech ? Where's the dual channel ?

    OK on second thoughts it could be a 754.

    thats the V series, which is the cheaper version. I'm guessing (hoping) chaintech has the Z series with the 4 slots.

    Didn't like the new DFI placement for RAM and CPu though.

    Weird.

    Don't like that 4 PIN Molex in the middle of the DFI and the ATX placement on the Epox. ECS wins my award for ugliest mobo of 2004 - LOL

    But otherwise ... drool :banana4:

    w00t, mon the dfi board! (plus I like how the cartoon pc on the dfi box is watercooled)

    And that chaintech board has got to be the ugliest board ever created :|

    The deals from the Coles specials are usually half-price sales.

    I noticed that most of the A64 Boards Chip-set is always near to the AGP Slot. Not good if your going to install a freaking big HSF or W/C the chip-set.

    Ecs is soo Ugly ^^



    For the Dfi,i bet they put that molex to assure there's enough power to the Sli-Lane for overclocker ^^



    I like the memory placement of dfi,the top fan blo whe air directly on the side of the mem stick,where it need to be cooled

    Just beacuse the board is SLI doesn't mean you have to get two video cards.

    The DFI will work at 16x with one card, and 8x each with 2 cards. The only way to get 16x on each card is to use the dual CPU model, as it has two chips to power each slot. Anyways, that molex connector looks very intruging on the DFI, I wonder what it's for, maybe for 4v on RAM or something crazy?

    that dfi looks interesting with the 2 cards.. only problem with that setup is that its going to be hard to mount an evap on both of the cards

    The molex is most likely for the video.

    I wonder if the molex on the DFI is maybe similar to the Intel mobo I had. On the Intel if you don't have a 24 pin ATX connector and you just use the 20 pin one then you must use the molex as well for the extra juice
