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

I actually bought it when it was 32.99 yeasterday =).

I will be reviewing them SATA Burner and SATA reader when I get my mother board. I'll tell you if it install windows and if it's comptabile with nero 6/7 and stuff like that =).
If DaClan is intersted should have it sometime near xmas

I have a few IDe drive lying around in case but for cable management this is gonna r0x0r! =)

That and remeber that the Power connectors are the SATA one as well. Make sure you have enough on your PSU, extension/converter/splitter are annoying IMO.

If you have many HD I suggest staying with round cables or folding the cables neatly...

I will have a maximum of 4 internal HD at all time so I am Ok with 2 SATA optical taking the 6 slots from a 680i or 6/8 of the RD600

I have to do it dough....

you have 8 HDD's for 1.8TB of space, right?

So why not use your connections and get 3 750GB hdd's for $5/each

I couldn't resist

Live On DFI web site.

You guys can get the manual. Might be a good idea since we all know you won't read it when you receive the board .

Now that I think about you probably never read it but this time you will because you need more details since ou can't have it 8)

Meh... Directron is large enough to get discounts, but not that much :x

Actually I find that with HDD's, the best thing to do is wait for both manufactuer and reseller rebates to come together, and then you can get them for around 10-15 cents per gig if you're lucky. Which is what I've done. Not to mention the 8 HDD's I have were bought over the span of 3 years... back in the dark days where 400-500 gig hdd's were "GINORMOUS"...

Kinda sad though that I have a little over 2 TB now (Bought another HDD) but a guy buying 3 750 gig's can top that in no time at all... but it'll take him forever to fill it up

Lately, I have been buying 250 and then 320gb HDs since they have been in the pricing sweet spot for the last year or so, but it only seems to take me about 2 months to fill 300 gigs. Then I spend another 3-4 months before I buy another only downloading stuff that I really want and cleaning up the stuff I don't really need.

In reality there is no performance difference between dual 8x slots and dual 16x slots. The best difference I heard was like 1-2FPS, meh.

Here you go Labbbby

Linky to Dongle performance testing

Basically here is a summary...

Ati is the clear winner in Dongleless performance testing.

Google Sketch-up.

I figured that was too easy 8O

Live and learn.... then get Luv's when we finally see a review of the RD600 and shit our pants at its performance.

I hope DFI will be able to overcome the bandwith issues and provide excellent performance.. but that wont be seen until we have a performance freak reviewing the board *prays for Coolaler*

Very nice RAID and voltage options!!

I am going to bust out my hickory stick and beat the living sh!t out of you..... (name the song ) Just kidding. Ninja you just enjoy toying with us don't you?

I remember the song "Hit me with your rhythm stick"...not sure which song those lyrics are from!

Some more teaser, 5 days....

I'd have to dig into the email archive to be certain but I think mushkin is still using D9s.

If there was one, we'd be analyzing the life out of it my friend.

Audit books?

Well I have some news from the OCZ Summit 2006 held in Taiwan on the 7th of December.
The DFI ICFX3200 (RD600) T2R/G should be out around Christmas (according to DFI at the Summit).
There was a demo of the board with a Core 2 Extreme X6800@450MHz×8 (3.6GHz) and Ram was @1,124MHz
Here are some interesting pics:

What card was that for the 3dmark?

From tony...yet again =)

Tony, according to this guy there is a BIOS issue so the board will be delayed another week. Is this guy speaking the truth?

I had a bios mailed to me on Friday, tons of fixes.

Go with the 15th still, if i get more i will let you know

http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2006/1208/ocz.htm
Here you can also see some other nice goods from the show as Asus "Commando" and Gigabyte 680i Boards etc....

Yeah, I read that too. But remember that everything Tony gets is ES so from that to mass market production theres quite a difference.

Well la de da, looks like we're still playing the waiting game...

Maybe the 15th might be a bit optimistic... probably won't be very widely available until after Christams... oh well, it'll make a nice present for myself...

Anymore concrete info guys?

DFI News , December 8th
