Hello Gents:

Just to throw some more clarity on a few issues. The RD600 has landed in Europe a few days ago and should be available in the UK shortly. I can't speak for North America, but I can state that there are no delays on this board here in the EU. This is just the first shipment and more have been ordered. The board will be available throughout Europe shortly.

I have received my own FAE sample from this first batch and can't find any trace of the chipset temp issue that plagued a few early samples. The chipset temp reads a nominal 45~50 degrees C in the BIOS.

With regards to DFI-Street I would first of all like to thank Fugger for killing any nonsense threads regarding events at the Street. AG is a guy that you either hate or love. It's as simple as that. If threads regarding the "demise" of the Street had been allowed to continue it would have quickly devolved into speculation and people lining up along the "hate" camp and the "love" camp. The resulting unneeded flamefest being the obvious outcome.

So to put this matter to a rest, AG was let go due to a difference of opinion between himself and DFI Management. He was not let go due to his somewhat "direct" treatment of people. It's no secret that DFI boards can be difficult to setup. As DFI support techs it is sometimes necessary for us to be brutally honest with people in order to get them back on track. You'd be surprised at the crazy ideas that people can come up with as to the source of problems. AG is a person who is very "direct" in his approach. Perhaps by some measures a bit much so, but this approach has helped untold numbers of people get a troublesome system back in order. I for one will miss the Street.

What is done is done and DFI has moved on. Someone has recently posted the link to our new forum. Rgone will be running it. I think we all know and respect Rgone and I hope to see you guys there.

To Fugger and any Mods please feel free to quote my comments regarding the Street as you see fit. It should help to quell any rumours and speculation that pops up on the subject.

DFI Support Europe.
