    I can't see how they would have their boards in the shops 6 weeks after taking the board's design decision

    Its either retail by September or design completion by then.......VIPs as well as ATI was surprised with DFI @ Computex coz they came up with a Crossfire solution in such a short period of time the chipset was released so I reckon its feasible.........

    well they can design a base board. Then once the poll ends, they can change the overclocking options on the bios level. Regarding high end crap, they can just change the southbridge.

    Well, this is not what the poll seems to be about and the options given would end in very different boards, it seems to me like it would require more than bios settings and a SB to get the different possible versions to work ok.

    ...Starting from September 2005, Abit will work with ATI to design motherboard base on ATI Crossfire Chipset ...

    ABIT Indonesia
    We(ABIT Indonesia) have confirmed this with ABIT Product Manager(ABIT HQ Taiwan) who didnt want his name to be publish....

    ABIT HQ
    "... in couple of month to come ABIT Engineer will work hard to finish the basic design first, before we start implementing ATI Crossfire Chipset..."

    I think ABIT wont be able to complete their Crossfire board until end of this year (Q4 2005) or maybe early neaxt year (Q1 2006)....

    Anyway ... Sapphire, DFI , Asus already finish their basic design... they probably just waiting Green Light from ATI...

    That's a good theory, but I sure hope the Sapphire board comes out before September or I'm probably going to give up hope and buy another board.

    But why da heck wait jus for the cards......mobos are the foundation and are needed ASAP and esp after annoucning the PURE series, Sapphire has plenty of world customers interested in the mobo........if the drag to long which they are doin now......ALOT will move on and get a DFI

    I have to agree. It's a bad business tactic, I think, but it might be what they are doing. I don't want another DFI board, but if Sapphire's board isn't out when I want to buy my system, DFI is going to get my money.

    I have been pushing to get the boards released, sapphire are pretty quiet but on the grapevine I heard end of July mentioned.

    We are all waiting, performance on Crossfire looks really impressive, i just hope they can release sooner rather than later.
    Got a problem with your OCZ product....?
