I'd be ordering one if I had a PCIE card... Anyone wana send me 150ish USD?

3770mhz CPU 2600mhz NB | DDR1040 5-5-5-15 | 900/1250
Why is everyone quoting Geforce4ti4200 in their signatures? I mean isn't it a bit mean...?
hes a man he can take it
i like how the slot connector isnt blocked by the chipset but no fake SLI
cant even get chaintech here woiuld you believe?
I think this is a great deal compared to the other Nf4 offerings. A good bridge until the DFI comes out. I really need one of those new x800 XL's now. or one of these....Originally Posted by reject

It is essential here how much overclocking will it allow. There are way to many mediocre boards around and I place my bet this will be one of them as well.
I want to see NF4 board that can do 300+ like Neo2 Platinum Ultra. Without that this is all nothing.
Nice layout .. CPU socket far away from GFX card. Close to RAM, though. Overall, it's kinda small too.

Yes the P/S connector is in a bad spot for me.. Where its at i'll never beable to reach it in my UFO case.. That and it seems with all non SLI boards, the Graphics are too close to the PCI slots.. Ya know the first one wont be usable and it will be a tight fit to get anything in the second one. So i dont see how i'll be able to get 2 cards in there.
Other then that it looks good cause of the price and past experiences with Chaintech with there 150 board have been freakin soild unlike other boards out there.
I'd probably jump on it but since i'll be waitin till the end of Jan to buy a FX-55, i'll wait and see whats the best by then.

nice layout. Looks good. I have no PCI-E card and I'm not willing to spend enough money for one...but still looks like a nice board

Doesn't look like there is much room to fit a new chipset cooler on the togheter with a bulky gfx card..
$150? LOL you can get an x600 for less than $100(try ebay?) or a 6600nu for like $122 on newegg.
"Why is everyone quoting Geforce4ti4200 in their signatures?"
doesnt bother me and hey its good for laughtsI have quoted others that said funny things and whenever others read it they laugh. by the way, my dvd rom should also be able to read cd roms, nice eh?
nice mobo, my chaintech for s754 did 320+ fsb I never even tried how high it could go. this gigabyte s939 does 290fsb, 300 doesnt seem to be too stable but I havent raised chipset volts yet. too bad I am sticking with agp for the time being but ill go pci-e much sooner if the new venice cpus do not work on nf3 mobos

this is a gamble. no reviews yet and chaintech skipped on nf3 ultra all together so they have had no user feedback for 939 yet. hopefully chaintech did their homework . it's going to be really good or really bad. We'll know soon.

Nope it's not mean...it's expected.

I said 150ish not exactly 150. X600XT is 148 dollars at newegg. I'm not touching ebay for hardware. X700pro is 166, 6600GT is 186, 6600nu is trash, and the 6200U is lookin nice at 109 for the EVGA version. Maybe I can afford the stuff after xmas...

all this stuff is exciting but unlike trans am i only have a couple of boards at a time
ask him how many he has ive lost count
Is it me or is there no firewire?
- Awperator
I ordered one too. By the time I want to go SLI they won't be gouging anymore. I have a feeling I wont be able to push it too hard with my gigabyte of BH5. Don't feel like vmodding it, it's my first A64 setup and I don't want many extra variables. I'll let you know how it goes but I might have to order some TCCD.

i think i may get one to try out too? hey what pci card is equal or better the the 9800pro the 6600gt or the ati flavor? im not up to date on these new cards and probly going to need one if i buy this mb...
thx perc,
man all u ppl have too much money to throw at "temporary rigs"...
let us know how the board performs
Intel i7 930 @ 4.2Ghz 24/7

hehe.... says the guy with a R507 MachII, raptors, P4@4.4 but also an A64 for good measure.
New stuff is easy to sell. I dont know why my PCI-e 6800GT didnt show up. I dont figure I'll lose too much on my AGP one though... for example.
Perc, yeah the 6600GT beats the 9800pro most of the time. The X700XT is the ATi contender. I'd go with the 6600GT personally because if you're going for a roughly equal card to your current one you may soon find yourself wanting more. Throw in another and you're on your way. Then again you could always go with the ditch for a lo$$ model.
Anyone know about this new nVidia sound? Whats up with that? I guess it's not "soundstorm" but if it sounds decent and the cpu utilization is low... I'll take it. I thought I was going to have to get an Audigy when I went A64 but I'll leave that up in the air at this point. No simplistic codec only stuff... I think... yay!

GFti4200 is one of the biggest men of these forums. Anyone who can take as much crap as him and still come in and post with a smile on his face, has to be a big man.
the 6600gt is what i have been eyeballing. i figure i buy one now and when the prices go down on the sli boards ill buy another 6600gt for that situation. well $hit looks like i need to order a 6600gt and this mb and see what happens? my 53 should run decent in this set up righthehe.... says the guy with a R507 MachII, raptors, P4@4.4 but also an A64 for good measure.

thx perc,
Nice layout??? Since when are floppy drives at the bottom of cases. That floppy controller is the farthest down possible. And i'd rather have the atx and 12v connectors more towards the edge of the board so they can be more easily hidden
