Hi,
Sorry about the delays... I am back now. Let's just say that between losing a family member , having strep throat turn into pneumonia, and having part of our roof blow off the house it has not been a good two weeks.
I am writing again finally, actually had to retest the 690G boards for the fourth time. The Biostar and Sapphire 690G boards with the latest BIOS updates are getting around 270HTT now stable, AMD still has some BIOS work to do between the IGP/PCI/PCIe locks to get them above 300. I doubt the Asus and MSI boards will do more than 235 as they were designed a little differently. The latest drivers are suppose to support 1080P, testing that tonight.
In the meantime, our first 7050 boards arrived this week, will have the Biostar board in the roundup now. I will post a couple of pictures later today. Performance is not any different than the 6150/6150SE boards, feature update only.
Intel was kind enough to send us a retail 6420 for this review so we will have the E4300 and 6420 going against the 3600+, 3800+, and 5200+, will follow up later with the 5600+ since it costs the same as the 6420. Overall, very impressed with AMD price to performance now and think their boards are a bit more mature than the Intel boards.
More information later today.
