first look/review at DFI RD580

**Tony** · 03-17-2006, 07:01 AM

Guys some friends of mine at CEBIT were able to beg DFI to lend them the board for a few hours, http://it-review.net/index.php?optio...439&Itemid=111

Check out the review, please keep in mind it was an RnD sample with an alpha bios so any weakness maybe ironed out on the shipping boards.

thanks for the preview Tony.

BTW
Is this you behind the case?

**Rodzilla** · 03-17-2006, 07:42 AM

More importantly... is that your wife in the pic?!?!?!?!

Lol, no I thought AndyOCZ said @ the bleedingedge that it was family of him, if I remember correctly.

**RyderOCZ** · 03-17-2006, 08:11 AM

That is Tony, yes

Not his wife though, that is Jessica who works in the Marketing Dept.

She makes that cooler master case look HOT!

OCZ needs a pinup calendar! (Don't put Tony on it though

)

Ya wanna buy an unproven system, or a proven system?
AM2 is, and will be, unproven for awhile IMO

true, but isn't it our job, and duty, here at XS to be the ones to "prove" it?
