8 more days....it's killing me... 
Even if newegg decides to scalp 
people for $300 a pop...I'm buying this board. 
Most likely I see its costing between $250 and $275 on release day.
I hope that we ALLcan get our hands on the RD600 before they (the sites) run out of stock...
I plan on not going to bed and just camping all the internet websites until I find the first site that posts it THEN IT WILL BE ALL MINE MUAHAHAHAHAHA.
You will have to compete with me.... I am done with school on the 12th and don't have graduation till the 16th so expect some competition in ordering the RD600
May the fastest clicker win! lol.
Even if this board isn't rated the best mobo ever...I'm still buying it reguardless.

I think I may have you beat....I don't go to school...I work out of the home...I have my desktop positioned right next to my laptop for my work and I'm very familier with this setup since I spend over 14 hours a day at my computer (1-2 hours reading on technology..6-7hrs work...and then World of warcraft/cs: s) My work requires me to use both of them going from one to the other constantly so I know how to work very well between the two.
I'll have about 5 windows open on each of them...constantly clicking on each window and pressing "F5" (there is a hint for you that might help)
Thats my current setup.
OMFG! OMFG!
"Optimized for Intel Core 2 Quad"
It's setup on 8% commission. My gf's brothers roomate owns the company...so he hooked me up, he only has 3 people that work for him, and no sorry he isn't hiring 
No more about my job....back to the DFI RD600 *Rips shirt off* WOOHOO!

They have been off since I first saw the pic of the mobo w/o the northbridge heatsink. 8O 8O 8O 8O
Gaah this is too much! Post the picture yould strip for! (cmon guys, I know its not just me and 3lf)
Looks at those VRMs and the perfect angle for that copper heatsink, the socket where my almighty 3050 will sit and the golden touch, Shaminos seal!
Breathtaking.. *dr00ls*
There you go.
That Karajan module interests me, I have no room for a dedicated sound card so a decent on-board solution is fairly important...
Any rumours of this board supporting SLI 
As long as you don't expect the Karajan to replace a X-Fi then it should meet all of your expectations. I used it for music and some basic multimedia clips and it worked quite well (this was back when X-Fi has no supported drivers on Vista but the Realtek chip inside the Karajan did). The module just gets brought to its knees when it has to cope with tanks, gun fire from 20 different people, helicopters on approach, a rocket whizzing by your head, and you crouching and tossing a grenade 8O .
I wouldn't expect the board to support SLI given the state of the union in the GPU market. I think we may see hacked drivers float around randomly for very specific configurations, but as for wide spread support, I doubt it. Too much pride in nVidia

yeah I am finally going to get SATA optical drives. They have been slow as hell in getting those to market. Intel has cut support for the IDE connector on thier chipsets, so it is just a matter of time before AMD does too. Also, they are reasonably priced now, at about $35 for a DVD Burner. I am anticipating 2 Seagate HDD's and 2 SATA DVD burners in my next configuration. I am offloading backup duties to a NAS
Where do you find a SATA DVD burner for $35? All the ones I've found are overpriced!!
For the audio, there's a reason why we have dual core cpu's
Meh, I don't play Battlefield much if at all, mainly I want audio that works decently enough for most FPS (positioning) and movies/music.
Alright I'll through you a bone
Newegg.com, hate them as you will but they still have the largest selection I have ever seen. 3 Lite-On ones $36 and under, and one that is around $100.
The Karajan should work well for your purposes... plus there is no cost to trying it since it comes with the board
Only difference between a noob and a veteran is experience and confidence ... we were all noobs at one point, we just commited ourselves to learning more each day.

Small correction my friend. A n00b (or any variation of the spelling) means that person could be somewhat experienced but at the same time is stupid, disruptive, and or totally incapable of learning. A noob is almost always someone who thinks they're cool but obviously aren't.
Newb (newbie or any variation of that) is not meant to be offensive. Newb merely states that the person in question is new to the game or board.
You can know as much as Wusy and still be a n00b. Also, once a n00b, you're nearly damned to be such forever. You can grow out of newbieness.

You know, I am starting to actually like the colors of this board. All that copper actually kinda goes with the orange. If only they had orange (or black) IDE cables with it and better looking packaging.
On a more negative note, my computer will no longer post to bios, YAY!!

At least that means 60% is relevant....

I say SATA for 3 reasons: 1) SATA cables are smaller and I loathe everything about the ginormous size of IDE cables. 2) They are much easier to plug/unplug (helpful in diagnosing problems) 3) Refer to 1
