DFI Crossfire Capable P45 mATX Board

The Holy Grail - Now that's nice, I could see that reaching easy £90, just as the Asus P5VM-HDMI was.

But I would Buy One.
 
It'll be P45 as G45 can't split the PCI-E lanes for Crossfire.

Also if you look at the back headers there is no DVI port so no onboard graphics.

no onboard vid means a bit cheaper surely? but the dual pci-e will bump it up. hmmm

hope atis cards are decent!

hope the onboard audio is decent too, crossfire means no sc :/

Unless you use a single slotter for one of the cards or both.

2 x 4850's or 1 x 4850 + 1 x 4870 :D
 
oo forgot crossfire worked in odd ways!

hmmm...
Looks like summer is going to be expensive. I'll sit back and watch how it all pans out :D
 
oooooooooooo me wants one. been thinking about a m-atx build for a while, i was going to wait for a board with ddr3 support but the idea of crossfire on a sff build might change my mind:)
 
I gave it some more googling today and found an american website listing the board with SKU DFI LP Jr. P45-T3RS on preorder/coming soon status. So it looks like it's definitely more than Vaporware, which is good news. Furthermore it looks like it'll be the first DDR3 mATX board. It does make me wonder though whether we can expect a DDR2 version. I doubt they do postage here but regardless, I don't want to get a suspension for quoting a potential competitor. It's listed at $199. Here's hoping to see it at around £100+VAT? :)
 
Cheers for the info. DDR3 support is great news looks like one of these is definitly at the heart of my next build WooT:)
 
arrrgghhh I have been waiting for one of these boards but theres no way im going to spend money on DDR3 it just doesnt make economic sense considering the cost of DDR2.

Anyone got any more news regarding these yet?

DDR3 can be picked up fairly cheap now, obviously not DDR2 prices but not too bad
 
I read somewhere yesterday that apparently the Jr. series of boards will be launched second week of July.
