so it's a DDR2 not DDR3

 

[imrul]

they wont kill ddr2 that easily, not until were raving at ddr3 2200 or something

"With new Intel® Core™ microarchitecture technology and 1333 / 1066 / 800 MHz FSB"


where is the 1600fsb support?

 

[Muhad]

Here are some specs;
- Support Intel® next generation 45nm CPU's (no support for quad 45nm only dual).
- Intel® Quad-core CPU Ready
- Intel® Core™2 Extreme/Core™2 Duo Ready
- NVIDIA nForce® 680i SLI™ plus PCIe 2.0 bridge (dubbed nForce® 780i SLI)
- NVIDIA Triple-SLI™ Ready
- Dual-channel DDR2 800/667/533
- 1333/1066/800/533MHz
- Stack Cool2 and Heat-pipe Thermal Solution
- 8 Phase Power Design


Question 1. So this mobo can't use a QUAD CORE 45nm CPU?
Question 2. Why use DDR-800 when FSB can't do 1600?

Hopefully they will have a version of the mobo that uses DDR3 memory.

ohh yay!...a re-badged 680I with a BR-04 bridge chip!...

::shakes fist at nvidia::...If their chipsets really were great for a intel platform, I wouldn't mind buying one and going SLI. But taking their 680i, adding PCI-E 2.0 and this bridge chip for tri-sli, and trying to sell it off as a new chipset?....Some seriously shady shat.

 

[chookman]

How dodgey...

are NVIDIA actually going to release some drivers the support tri sli?

 

[slim142]

And remembering NVIDIA only released 1 driver for their 680i chipsets (9.53) in XP... bad start for 2008

 

[imrul]

i need a truly new new chipset...
