Our prayers have been heard, DFI@Conroe to the summer hell yeah!

Btw thanks for showing

[Micutzu]

Yeah, too bad the 975X motherboard is Infinity and not LanParty .

There is still RD600. And thats the one I think il go for. I like my grouper a lot, and I dont think this wil be worse.

[Absolute_0]

Good find, thanks for sharing. I'll wait and see, but i'll need a good board for Conroe, that's for sure

[Cobalt]

Oooh DFI LP UT CFX3300-M2R/G looks tasty. hehe

[Vapor]

Wow, 12 AM2 boards in ~2 months? Kinda crazy....guess the DFI NF4 series really gave them a name and they figure they can shoot for the mainstream now as well

Conroe RD600-T2R/G and CFX1150/G seem like they may be the OCer's and crunchers boards of choice come August

BTW, you listed projected dates of engineering sample availability, not mass production

[twisted5]

OH Sweet lovin! DFI has arrived!

[madpete]

Anyone know which of these boards Oskar will be focusing on? It can't be all of them unless the DFI don't let the poor bloke sleep

Also whats the differance between RD580 and RD600?

[Micutzu]

From what i've heard the nF590 board is Oskar's work ... for the rest, i don't know.

Edit: RD600 has only 8X/8X PCI-e lanes, but supports DDR3.

[einCe]

noob question, ddr3 system ram?

[NiCKE^]

The i975x is going to be cheap since it's INFINITY. I hope they will have some kickass SLI m/b's because I'm not a big fan of ATI

[sealion]

noob question, ddr3 system ram?

yup

Thanks for that Micutzu

[Micutzu]

NP.

Willis, nF570 doesn't support Linkboost (performance enhancement with SLI'ed 7900 cards) and that board might not be designed by Oskar. These are two important things to consider, IMO.

Edit: i thought you were refering to the 570SLI version ... disregard the first part of my comment, or just take it as a general remark.

[vanquish]

Looks pretty good on paper, performance will be the key..

Thanks for the info Micutzu

[Micutzu]

ATM i don't know much more than you guys, but for benching and xtreme action definetely the LanParty nF590 version is the one to have.

[Mortal]

Thanks for the info! I've been waiting for it. =)

A couple of interesting options there, although the 775 boards don't seem to get the same love as a few of the 940 boards.

[ahmad]

Looks like its gonna be a long summer filled with DFI/Intel/ATI dreams.

[onewingedangel]

I find it hard to believe that rd600 doesn't have dual x16 slots though. Why would they have cut back from rd580?

[schmusli]

they had been forgotten to put ich8r!

[nn_step]

I'm loving the healthy amount of PCI slots, I wonder how well they overclock

[VulgarHandle]

i'd say talk to intel..

[vapb400]

Come to me DFI LP UT RD600-T2R/G and DFI LP UT C19SLI32-T2R/G



YAY FOR CONROE THIS SUMMER!

[Cranox]

DFI + Conroe = benchfun
