DFI SB750 boards, more scuttlebut.. NOW WITH DFI LINKS

[nanohead]

OK, just got some more info from Motherboard Pro (these guys are the only ones who seem to be able to tame DFI )

They confirmed for me that the LP JR 790GX-M2RS only supports the 125 Watt CPUs. This info came from DFI today. Many of us were wondering what kind of CPU load it would take, and we were looking at those PWM configurations and scratching our heads. Those slides in their preso said 120A (120 Amps, maybe to power a NY city subway car or something), must have meant 125W.

Also, it appears that the next gen of the 790FX board is supposed to be here soon, and as usual, DFI confuses everyone

The info claims that there will be 2 different models, just like there are now, but the model numbers make no sense, as both end with M2RS. There was a DK 790FX2-M2RS and a 790FX-M2RSB or some such nonsense. I didn't quite understand the nomenclature It might have been some mis info from the DFI sales department or something.

So it seems that the JR is good for 9850s and new 9950s, but that we have to wait for the big mother for the 140W CPUs
