The bitter aspect is that boards from ASUS such as the Rampage Formula are in direct competition to DFI's offering in this segment and can run ultra high FSB speeds and lower tRD levels with relative ease."
DFi not OC topdogs anymore. Probably all gonna go downhill from here... Delay like hell to bring out the mobo then you find it's performance falls way short of expectations... Sucks though, layout etc is top notch
