DFI RD600

Yes, it does exist.

Is this coming out soon? You mock us with this picture, but include no info with it!

All good things come to those who wait.

Looks really cool. Aside from potential OC-ability, what does the board offer that the 965 don't, in terms of features, layout, power system, etc.? Or is this board anticipated solely because it should OC really well?

I still dont understand why there is no sound output jacks, maybe its a test release of the board. This is the board i really want to get, but i'll have wait to see the results of AMD's new 65 nano CPU's first

More pictures on the RD600

DFI use a daughter card for on-board sound.

I'm curious how strap-less clocking works as well as that digital PWM.

Gary: I thought you'd have some quality information regarding upcoming products? This picture is severely lacking and even embarassing, considering you're an AT editor. Pics of BIOS configuration, maybe.

you can add that pic to these:

I am tired of waiting

DFI May Quit Desktop Mainboards Business

If that happens, there might be no support for this board if its released, like bios updates

d00d, he's obviously under NDA still, or he'd be showing us some more.

I await the review eagerly

I thought I was obvious, too. (<-- maybe I should have been more obvious like this)

The winks do a better job of sarcasm.

i'm still thinking whether i should wait for this to come out or get a 975x.
Any suggestions?That board looks killer though.

Why 975X?

CF support?

I'd just get the P5B Deluxe & be happy
It supports CF now anyway, albeit with a bit lower performance than 975X CF.

It'll OC way past any 975X mobo now & likely for a long time

Hi,

I cannot release any details until the NDA expires. However, unlike other pics across the web we have a working board.

Yes, I am embarrassed. I feel shamed now and will return the board. :laugh:

It is false. They will at sometime in the future pull out of the entry level segment (under $100), Infinity and LanParty product lines will continue and be expanded.

This board is why I haven't bought a P5B Deluxe...my E6600 has been sitting in its unopened box on my bedroom floor since mid-August. I hope to find a home for it soon.

So the question is, when does the NDA expire? Or are you under NDA for exposing NDA expiring date?

The big question Gary - Will it be worth the wait? You can answer that at least...

I personally do not believe it's going to be worth the wait for most people.
For those who want to be able to run CF to it's maximum potential & tweak with settings to an extreme, then yes, i suspect it'll be worth it.

But how many people will actually run CF?
How many people need mobos that can clock higher than say my P5B Deluxe (if RD600 even can - which will be a feat in itself)?

As for the magical RAM dividers/chipset strap settings, thoset could be features that make it worth everything.
Without that, i'm not gonna get terribly excited.

That all being said, i am still very eagerly awaiting the reviews.

Anyone have anything more than a vague idea on when this will be available to buy? The mobo is the final piece of my Conroe build, and if this one will be out in the next 3 weeks or so, I will wait for it.

I bet it will be out within three weeks, but warm up that credit card....

Ive been waiting to see an anandtech review of this board.
Thanks for the tease...
