Good deal, I have been doing the same. I mean if I can stay up 36hrs for a damn PS3 I can stay up a couple hours for this board if it is coming the 15th like speculation leads us to believe
i just sold the last of my four PS3's

I surely would not stay up tonight looking for the 15th to come around...unless every source I have is absolutely wrong...you will not see an rd600 go up for sale on the 15th...just so you don't stay up for nothing...
RGone...
Back and forth from board to board it seems.
I'm working so I don't care but thanks for the heads up

Lol did you check newegg? because It was sold out after I bought my 3 on tuesday
If nothing's listed by 4am, I'll call it a day. But I'll be up early also, just in case
*** @ Everybody: If they start being listed after 4am, please order a 2nd one, I'll gladly buy it from you

The Nforce chipset alone eats more power than a laptop! Amd really need Ati/Amd chipset to their 4x4. Just think about the current 100W in chipset power consumption.

Its 4am EST no boardguess I will go play BF2142 for a bit and check it at like 6am then 8am. If not looks like it will be out for my bday Jan 10th
Excellent. Great to hear from you Tony. Hope this board lives up to expectations.
You tested the clockgen of Franck for RD600 ?I doubt you will see 550fsb from this board, 511 max in bios and 520 flakey stable in XP.
testing raptors in raid 0 on ati raid now
no need AMD system manager goes well over 500fsb already
Got a problem with your OCZ product....?
Have a look over here

any memory recommendations for this board

Don't you think it is a little early to ask that question?
Just get the cheapest Micron D9 sticks you can find or you could ask Tony later what Ocz sticks he think works best on it. That would be the safest bet. Too bad he must try out that Nforce board so you will have to wait...

"People who enjoy waving flags

no reviews, no boards... what's going on?
I wanted to ask the same question
rumors don't always pan out.
{2012 27imac-3.4i7-680mx-32gb ram-768SSD+External TB Samsung840pro ssd + TB velociraptors-Moto828mkIII/Marantz/Amphion Sound-HPzR30w 2nd monitor}
Agree, but I hoped at least for the review part today. Well, still have plenty of time till the end of the day
from Bingo:
"The preview will be up very late tomorrow (today now) or early Saturday morning. The full review is next week after I finally complete the P965 saga. I will try to answer all of the major points in the preview article. I am going for less words, more numbers. DFI is suppose to confirm shipment numbers tomorrow. I know the boards bound for the US should arrive very shortly. "

Is this board gonna be future proofed with crossfire in only PCI-e 8x + 8x ? Handling Vista and future games?
I am starting to debate whether I want this board or not

Why is everyone so held up on only having only 8x PCIe lanes per x16 slot? Hasn't it already been shown not to be a limitation at all? Even with Crossfire setups? And if it is, isn't that only true with older cards that don't have the dual dongle hook up now?
