Yeah - I'm looking at that one as well since I have a Neo2. I just put in some more updates, too. Looks like very few are going to make it under the Christmas tree, though.

Nice list. Can't wait to get my K8N Neo Diamond...

Just an update: Asus A8N-SLI In Stock at 4 places

xgman · 12-22-2004, 07:45 AM

Great work. Thanks.

Now maybe we need a list of high end PCIE cards to make these boards work. I bet you they become much harder to find than the boards themselves.

OPPAINTER · 12-22-2004, 07:58 AM

Excellent work RAINFIRE

Thanks!

Does anybody make a dual x16 slot mobo useing the Via chipset? Thats what I'm interested in checking out. It suports 2 ATI cards.

From what I understand, If you have the right chipset, ATI cards can work together, simply though a driver, no bridge. I know the Via chipset is suppose to suport this.

Seen the debate, but not the boards.

Interesting idea tho

very curious ahw the MSI ATI board is as far as overclocking, voltages, locks etc.

LoKi2k · 01-02-2005, 10:17 AM

are there some news about the dfi?

matt9669 · 01-02-2005, 09:03 PM

ABIT apparently will have an nForce4 lineup - listed from SLI to standard NF4:

http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/...es=1&model=246
http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/...es=1&model=247
http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/...es=1&model=245
http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/...es=1&model=248

Preorder here:
http://www.computerhq.com/Abit_AN8_S...id-533547.html

This is <i>very</i> good news IMO - these boards don't look to be as feature rich as the ASUS/Gigabyte/MSI (no Dual 1Gb/s, 8x SATA etc.) but uGuru is hard to beat . . .
