"Grouper" first look

[MaxT]

Where have they been spotted? Any in the good ole' U.S. of A? And what performance wise does the BT have over the DR. I'm not quite fimiliar with that perticular southbridge.

Those two have different designs. The BT will follow the ATI reference crossfire design, while the DR is Oscar Wu's design, similar to their new NF4 expert sli board.

Both use the same north and south bridges. I have no clue which one is better though, barely any info is available for these motherboards.

I got to a point where i'll buy the 1st one available, be it grouper, bt cf, rd, or even nf4 sli expert. I've decided to skip on CrossFire until the r580 comes out, but any of those boards would work for me.
