No reg/ecc mem required..SLi

Now you can get 242 for 200 bones ea. and OC NF4...definity has cheap dually potential.

If it OCs Abit will have a definate winner on its hands.

lOOKS hot.. four phase pwr.. highend alum caps...I can't wait. Now all I need is some AU cored 242's...those are the CG stepped ie ~2.5 easy on air

[mcnbns]

ABIT might be back in the game... It's even regular ATX form factor!

That is going to cost a mint. I wish I had a mint.

Nice board , but i wonder this board can oc or not , if it can so we can take 2 CPUs on fly

[chipmonk010]

that thing is awsome any idea what its gonna cost?...and i thought dual xeons were cool.....sli!! and two cpus!!

[Zebo]

$225 for CG's hehe... I emailed ABIT for availability...and pricing

I hope some other manufacturers come out with dual Opteron boards that don't require Registered/ECC RAM. All I need is a single AGP slot of a single PCI-e. I cannot describe how excited this motherboard makes me. This is the future of computing.

With the advent of dual core CPUs on the horizon, software developers will be forced to make more things multi-threaded, so I'm going to wait and see for a little...

wonder how they were able to use regular RAM on that board...very interesting. Opteron+SLi=Very nice game play (if the game supports multiple threads)

Or just play Farcry and encode a DVD at the same time if it's not MT on your dual FX55+++

Can anyone say Dual Dual Core CPUs


~Bob

[Skip]

yea, amd said that current boards will suport dual core, so that would be amazing!

no extra power connector on the board though, how is that pulled off?

[Zebo]

It has an interesting power connector...eight plug... look by ide slot

[shadowing]

What kind of PSU? Regular, or the type all dual ones use? This may be off topic but how much do opterons cost?

how's that, Newegg's Opteron area.

24pin main connector and that 8pin connector...I think thats on those server type PSUs. So it may work with a regular PSU...doesn't the ASUS PC-DL have that, but works with regular PSUes as well. So who knows.

Two of those Opteron 250s would be sweet in that thing...

225 isnt bad at all, looks like competition for the asus pc-dl for dual xeons which is about 200 bucks.....only problem is i dont think ull find a pair of opterons that will do 3.0ghz for 100 bucks. anyone know how opterons oc or if they do at all. if they do its almost affordable. pretty cool stuff comming out lately, thank god im broke

Got a PM from a bud.. he said his OCZ 600 has 2x4... that's what you put in there..

Look up
I gave you guys same chip as later FX-53's, CG rev AU, albeit with diff multi..and diff "rated speed". but who cares if this board clocks like other NF4's we have been seeing 380FSB

Just set HTT to ~320 and you're golden if you got luck on your side.


The discount chips ain't the problem...Lets just hope the board is the shizzle.

Like the layout....

4 Phase Voltage
2 socket
2 seperate dimm location
2 PCi-express

SLI ready

p/S; what does that mean ABIT SLI switch?

This means you can chose with flipping switch

Setup A
2 x PCie x16

Setup B
1 - PCIe x16 and 1- PCI x1 (put sound card in there or something else if you want)

[Aphex_Tom_9]

wow, that has potential!

[R.Rabbit]

this board is so sexy, real top of the bag work, but doubt it would seem any faster than a single cpu based system for the same price, pretty much for the full pocketed over clocker

It'll be a heck of a lot faster playing games and ripping DVD's at same time than any single setup on planet.

Once you go dually these guys say you never can go back to single.. I want to see.. This is the first opportunity I may be able to afford to without wife noticing

Say board is $350, $200 x 2 processors..I already have mem since it only requires unbuffered... Only $750 for a dual operton, SLI screamer with FX type performance...

[tictac]

Is it possible to overclock a server?
Why do they build overclocker stuff in this board?
