I must agree with you there sam. What's the point in having the high-end equipment (with a high-end cost) and that is being overpowered by 'old' technology?!
For starters the production should be much much more reliable, no bad batches, no bad boards, no differences between revs or country they come from etc...
I will never put a DFI on my case again without a real test! I did that with my very first X38 (watercooling takes 2 day labor for prope and perfect installation), then rma came (Disk Read Errors and Bios Freeze), then came the second X38 that I didn't even mount send it right back to San Jose (just look at this soldering job and how the case arrived: http://i12.tinypic.com/7wgd9qb.jpg http://i14.tinypic.com/72105ec.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/6q2v4gp.jpg ) ...
My third X38 Rev A01 is perfect and works flawless till this date.
But now with my X48 also mounted on watercooling I have to waist 1 more day to pull all out, 3 days till new one arrive and 2 more mounting everythingback and shipping money to rma back and then reassemble everything again.
All that if it's proven that I have a malfuction like Pinot (vcore upping = post shut down and Clear Cmos only way to get back and also frozen bios screen)... All that with STOCK (bios default loaded)...
But why do I still buying DFI since NF2?!?!?!?!
