    Will the DFI RD600 be the Golden MB?

    So far it been good to poor boards for Conroe. We are all hoping, wishing and thinking that the DFI RD600 will be the golden board that will take us higher then all the rest. Rumors are it will be the best bar none. Rumors have let us down many times.

    What do you think?

    Yeah no kidding. A shoe box with a few electrical traces could beat the Abit boards and the Asus and Gigabyte boards aren't that incredible.

    I don't think the boards up to now have been amazing, but, I think people have been expecting too much from their retail chips. The ES ones are doing very well, think there will be an improvement (hopefully) but I'll stick with my Asus I reckon.

    I loved the LanParty NF4 series but I am more sceptical here.

    First of all I have a very strong desire to stay with Intel chipsets when I can have them, because the drivers and general reliability are so much better. I haven't got an ATI-based board yet but what I hear is not too good, about on par with NVidia where there's, quite frankly, so much trouble that it always made AMD64 sour for me.

    I also think that the U.S. division of DFI is sincking deeper and deeper into lunatism and at some point a single board designer can't just hold up the flag alone.

    Well thanks too a new Bios update, the 975x Infinitity board is clocking over 400mhz. I think DFI just bought into the game early. First generation boards are always a bit of a let down.

    I think the RD600 based DFI will be sweet. I don't have anything to really go on except that they wouldn't be putting all this time and effort into it unless the RD600 chipset was solid.

    I'm hoping this will not have quirks like the Ultra-D... I'm not too optimistic with the Asus board due to the issues the A8R series had =\
