static protection chip? huh?
that doesnt really make sense, you cant use a single chip to safe an antire board against static discharges ^^
must be some marketing mumbo jumbo... still interesting, can you linke me to it?
the ETA of FlamingBlade is in a few weeks, anywhere between 2 and 6, depends on how many surprising delays our colleagues in china come up with this time ^^
the ETA of P55 and 1156 is August 2009 more or less, and it depends on Intel to decide when exactly to launch it...
FlamingBlade will be less than 200$... and itll have most of the nice features of BR, looks very similar, and have almost the same bios...
BloodRage
X58
4 pciE 16x
1 pciE
1 PCI
1 HDA slot for the Sonar XiFi
FlamingBlade
X58
2 pciE 16x
1 pciE 4x
1 pciE 1x
2 PCI
im not sure about the pwm specs, i dont want to post something wrong, ill post something later
compared to P55/1156, well basically look at the boards you see at cebit right now, its gonna be like that... but better
The main difference is 2 channel memory, and only 16 pciE lanes going directly to the cpu...
Dont get too excited, that wont mean a speed boost from what ive seen so far
775 holes will be on the FB and on the P55 board as well, and XiFi, yes, sure, bundled cards would be better, but half of the people here seem to be more than happy with onboard sound and i dont think they would pay extra for a card they dont use/want... and those who want a xifi most likely already have one... so then again they wouldnt want to pay extra for something they dont want/need...
oc panel wont be bundled with FB or P55, no... OC panel is a standalone drive bay panel and will be sold seperately... before you ask, i dont know
i already asked a dozen times when itll finally be for sale
