6weeks means just prior to xmas or at the new year....

Any idea on the price?
I'm not waiting for a 6 week mobo that will end up costing $200+.
If the price will be in the $180 range or less, I'd consider waiting.

Good Luck..$180..try more likely $300(given EVGA, Asus 680i mobos)

Yeah, I'd expect it to be north of $200. Just the way things are nowadays for the better mobos.

Lets just hope "north of $200" means not more than $210

My pricing guess = $300 at least.

I'm not kidding either.

Obviously, only time will tell, but i am rather sure we will not see it less than that range for a long time.

I can't wait for the review

It wouldnt suprise me. I was thinking $250-$300 myself but it could go either way. I'll take a guess of at least $249.99 and see how I fare. Although I think you're number is going to be closer to the truth.

So who is testing this board since no manufacturers are gonna use it in their board designs? I presume only AMD/ATI and DFI, unless they pop up in some other boards which is doubtful thanks to Intel. Too bad...this board is probably gonna be one buggy product when this finally does come out.

If this is true, then we might see a board before the end of November, but I wish ppl at the INQ would edit their writings before publishing it. "RD680i"?

[bah

I sometimes think they mis spell things so that they cannot be sued lol.

New ASUS Striker mobo review up. Unfortunately they didnt use a Conroe chip so the overclocking segment wont tell us what its full potential is.

Fuad/the Inq is often sarcastic in their naming. 'Graphzilla', 'DAAMIT' etc... I'm uessing they're mocking the 680i as an RD600 wannabe or saying the two are so similar or something of the likes..

As for the ASUS RD600 -- WOO! I love freedom of choice. My name guess: P5R32-MVP.

Hah!

I still would bet on 299.99 or higher for actual pricing for quite a while

That's still too expensive for most of us...

 

[KeithTalent]

Ok, so what's the general consensus here for the release of this board, in December before Christmas sometime? I'm hoping it will at least be out before January...

 

[Skott]

In stores before Christmas is a safe bet. How soon in stores? I'll guestimate December 1st and see how far off I am.

That would be perfect, right around Christmas bonus time, could not think of a better time to upgrade

For the review or the product?

I hope you are not too far off. I did see the final production board this week but not the BIOS yet. It is close, so very very close, but until it is done we have to wait.

 

[Skott]

Actually I was referring to product. I've heard two versions of release rumors. One is end of November and one is early December. So I chose December 1 hoping I'm pretty close. By Gary's last post it sounds like it could be finished for review before end of November so got my fingers crossed this is true. Then hopefully it hits stores within a week of the review. This is just all my wishful thinking of course.

 

[hardwareking]

MSRP is $249.Not bad considering intel's bad-axe 2 is available at ewiz.com for $252.
I can't wait to see how this performs.Can't really wait much longer too.Hopefully it'll come on sale before christmas.
