Hey Bar81,
Would you tell me how K8N works with your DTR and memory (1:1)?
I might get K8N instead of VNF3 if it works well

Hmm, but NewEgg has always been very slow in getting new products out in my opinion. Like the X800, it took them a bit to get it on the site while other sites had it up already. Whatever, I just want this mobo out now so I can buy it in time. I emailed Zipzoomfly asking if they really have it in stock and ready to ship or they are just taking orders. I await a response. I will update on that.

That's the plan. I'm gonna have a personal three board shootout between the ASRock, Chaintech, and MSI with both a 3200+ CG DTR and CG Newcastle 3200+

Hmm, an entire day went by and all they managed to do was pack my order...:roll:

Doesn't look like they REALLY have these boards in stock yet. They REALLY have my money though...that pisses me off. :|

I ordered mine yesterday around 4PM Eastern and today around 12PM it was "packed" its still in that position. I also saw ZZF run out of the motherboards and then get more "In Stock" in the same day..... Its quite possible that they saw how many orders went yesterday and ordered more for today.. IF they are indeed just taking pre-orders and not stating that I will be one very upset customer and will never buy from them again.......(!)

I was thinking that my order should have shipped today. But they do state that their process could take a day or two...specially since they have to call your credit card company etc to check everything out first.. If my order doesnt ship tomorrow Im gonna be worried......

Well since this thread has basically turned into a lets sit and wait kinda deal, I will liven the party with a question if thats okay. If not then feel free to ignore me, LOL


I am building an HTPC/PVR, Antec overture MSI K8N Neo Platinum, A64 2800+(or 2600+ if it comes out soon)what type of memory should I pair with this? Not gonna do any overclocking, so it doesn't need to be high speed stuff, stability is one concern, since the rig will run 24/7. . But I don't need to buld right this second, kinda waiting to see hopefully a release date on the 2600+. So shudl I wait and hope for better prices or a better deal, or are prices gonna continue to rise?

What speed should I get PC3200? Also do you think 512MB is enough for PVRing and playing DVD's and stuff like that. I'm sure its fine for pretty much everything, the only thing i am slightly worried about is PVRing with multiple cards at once. But they are hardware encoder cards, although not sure if that has anything to do with the memory, I know it use less or no CPU though.

They don't call anyone. They probably just authorize it through their order software, takes a matter of seconds. Assuming your card is okay and your shipping address is okay this should take a matter of minutes. The order then goes to the shipping department and someone prints a packing list and puts the product in a box, runs it through the shipping software which assigns it a tracking number. The shipping company (UPS) picks up packages usually late in the day. Usually when a company has an item in stock and everything is good the product will ship the same day if the order is placed before noon. I placed my order Wednesday around 1:00PM. I should have a tracking number today.

I don't think there's anything to worry about (meaning we will get the product eventually) but if they are taking orders and then holding on to our money until they get the product then that is not right. This is the sort of thing that sleezy companies do to boost their sales numbers and improve cashflow. It is NOT an acceptable or ethical way to do business though.

Yeah, and once it says it's "Packed", you can't cancel either. We might be waiting a week.
I ordered mine last night and they had all day to ship it, and it just says packed.

heh... actually my friend just built a PC and he is using the Giel Value series... its PC3200 he got it from newegg. the latency is 2.5, 3, 3 (just remember buy the seperatve 512mb sticks). They seem to work rather well on his setup.
