Hot tamales... thats a nice case mod... too bad I don't have that much time nor willpower to care enough, but I'm impressed... although Ninja's money problems I laff at

You make the girl buy you stuff, not the other way around. Thats the way to roll.

Anyways, 680i supposedly has some problems, so I'm going to hold off until more info comes out:

Tomorrow reviews come out... we excited yet?

Don't laugh at my pain....

How does one woman blow thru $800 in 3hrs? Its just not natural...

lol I cant talk... newegg=3k in about 3 minutes

Hope you at least shopped at Victoria secret 8)

Gawd Damnit... I have to start paying attention more when we go out...

"Ernest goes to Toms"... has a nice ring to it, that it does.

If thats a peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich on your desk, then yes, yes I am.

Alright already you bastard. Tomorrows is Dec 15.

Ah, the poor bastard will have to wait yet still. I'm not going to stay up just to buy it though. I've got other things to worry about.

I am so dissapointed in RD600 that I dont even care for this horrible thread jacking...

Let's see I'll be up playing beer pong so hitting up a computer around midnight.... not a problem. Gotta love not having school for 3 weeks.... but then I get to start an internship working 90 hour weeks 8O

When was the last time a girl bought something useful that wasn't from victoria secret?


Side note:
Even if the RD600 isn't the end all be all of C2D OC'ing I feel it will be a solid board and I am all for sticking with DFI . I fried my last SLI board so I think I will stick with the ATI chipset (Popped a capacitor.... actually how I "met" wusy... anyways).

Ridiculous

>$400 for a mobo, F that crap!

For all the ones that are awake waiting for to magically pop out in newegg, go to bed... its not going to touch american shores for a few days.
Anandtech will have a preview of the board in 36hrs tops, and a full review in a week.

Yeah, Jan. looks to be a good month.

I am probably just going to get 1 R600/G80/1. Last time I went SLI it really wasn't worth it at all. The only reason I can see going SLI is if I get a 30" monitor, i.e. Apple or I think Dell has one too.

Yeah I know he's the anandtech guy, kinda forgot his name though

Yeah I agree, I think I want to give the P5N32-E a run, mainly because I am curious, and I figure the physic equation might play a good role down the road.

I am not 100% sure it's worth the hassle though. I really like the P5N32-E layout too. Anyhow I am not 100% set.
The 680i might prove to be more of an hassle then anything else. :?
Might flip a coin.

Which 965 are you getting dario?
P5b Dlx or giga DQ6?

The you dig into memory subtimings and create your own 8)
There are always work arounds any type of feature problem and Asus boards becoe very mature as BIOS revisions pop up. If it wasnt for the vcore (which is also solveable) this would be exactly a Striker.

Oh, and I saw for $260 somewhere in the net last night *hint*

Grab a Xeon to ensure those ~500Mhz overclock. But if you dont have access to them then I would say 29B and 30 have been the best batches so far.

Morning ladies!

So yeah, pretty much what has been said. Not so fats in Spi, fast in 3d.

With all these 3 chipset so tightly grouped in performance, I think I/others need to make a reality check and find out what feature are the most important for them. On Tuesday we should have a few answers like:
What about Raid performance, what about the true Async and then do I really want SLI/Xfire down the road and so on.

One of the important question that I would like to see answered is how do the physic portion of ATI/nVidia/Aegia stack up. That could be really a selling point for Xfire/SLI at some point. Also I didn't bother looking up but I'd be curious which developer will be going with aegia and which one is going for Havoc.

You say something?

On the subject of these 3000 series Xeons people keep going on about....

Ninjas results were very interesting reading, and did seem to indicate that his Xeon 3060 was from a higher bin, or maybe just by chance a better die, than his e6600....

It would have been very interesting to see his x6800 stepped down to a x9 multiplier to "emulate" and e6600 however, just to see if this supposedly top end CPU could then "beat" the 3060.

At 2.93GHz it should be expected to use more power and generate more heat, tests at 2.4GHz would allow us to compare them on a like for like basis and see which is likely to have the higher max clock (FSB limitations on the 3060 not withstanding)

darkstar782 have you been reading the thread I have been defending? LOL

Good news ladies....

The PREVIEW is in....here

The review is next week.

Here is a DFI RD600 tweaking guide that Tony has put together for people that plan on getting one.

Tweaking guide

Awesome! It seems like Tony will be as fond of RD600 as he is of P5B dlx. Sadly RD600 doesnt nearly have the FSB potential, but neither is Tony recognized for a FSB freak.
