Asus M3A79-T Deluxe

[faior]

Maybe you should wait for some official reviews past the launch date from say lost circuits or even anandtech? Some of their results are not consistent with what we've seen from end users,and that clock to clock comparison with Agena shows that Deneb is even slower than Agena in number of apps which is practically impossible(so the test is not quite correct).I'd expect around 8-10% better performance on average,per clock, than Agena.
Also in Greek review,Kentsfield beats Yorkfield and Nehalem is some of those tests ,so you get my point.Also the power draw test seems a bit unrealistic.Again,I'd wait for official launch and reviews from more reputable sites(not taking away anything from hwbox.gr).

As for the Mhz gain,it depends om cooling used primarily .If you can get a good air or wc kit you are set for 4Ghz,which is impossible for Agena.
The board question: I'm not sure.Maybe there are some users here at XS who own it and can confirm/deny the x16 functionality of the lower slot.I think it's a moot point since these are 2.0 PCIe and they will not bottleneck your card ,even if you have 4870X2 it should be enough.

I definitely hope that its much faster than agena, since my CPU should arrive next week. Here at Finland people could have bought the phenom2 for about 3-4 days and some people do have it and tested, not very much of tests have been revealed but for example there is no difference in 3dmark2006 CPU-test at same clocks.

Well this board should give triple CF and all 16x and quadCF with 8x, am I right? But it seems that there should be all the cards in the slots to get it function like that. With only one card it gives only 8x edit. I was wrong, it seems to work with triple CF like this: 1x16, 2x8x.. hmpf.

Its a little pain in the ass because my plan was to change the 9950BE to another HD4850 and put up a CF, but now it doesnt seem like im doing it.. damn.

And yeah 8x 2.0 PCI-E is enough for one card.. but there is some difference when using more than one.

edit2, do anyone have any idea why my primary slot doesnt work? Or any ideas what to try to get it back online, althought i have tried so many things that I cant even imagine to try something else..
