Are you sure Aleki? I went there about a week ago, and they were all out. Did you happen to find out how many they had in stock? I might have to take a drive back into Boston. Sweet!
Ahh. Online it says there's 31 left. I hope that's not BS...

Nope, not BS. just picked one up yesterday
Just reserve one online before you make your trip. These will probably fly off the shelves
PS: Batch number L846B715, so mine came out late november from the Malaysia plant. I'm willing to bet they're all the same

I'm having a hell of a time deciding on going for a AMD 790X mobo DDR2 with a 955 or 940 + UD4P, Oooor grabbing a P45 and going one of these. Someone is getting my current rig but I can't decide. What do you guys think. Either way I'm keeping my DDR2.
p.s. anyway to tell on box if its a E0?

Am2+ is still getting new cpu's,I think it will eventually be faster than 775 socket.Also you should try to get ud5 ddr2 board.
Why? It's pretty much the same as the 790X board?Originally Posted by Hell Hound
