"26th Jan update: the new beta driver brings an extra 13-15% performance growth when side-port memory is enabled in BIOS, please stay tuned for our new WR!!"

Does 'side port memory' mean adding the onboard graphics to a dedicated card ? If I have (as I do) a 256mb 3850 card would I see a worthwhile (eg +10%ish) boost to my 3D performance ? (Drivers permitting of course, I understand they are likely to be immmature right now)

side port means the memory chip built on the PCB of the motherboard itself.

One of the best mATX I've seen

Got plans for an Intel based board? The HDMI & DVI Is an awesome feature! Looks very well laid out as well.

This board would go very nicely in my Thermaltake Bach htpc case with a nice cheap phenom 9500. Hope these come into stock soon, because I am definitely tempted.

let's take a look at the actual packaging and the board.

pumpman · 15 Mar 2008 at 02:08

when are these for sale in the UK ?

kenofstephen · 15 Mar 2008 at 02:53

April will be the Mass Production,

may have some stocks on March.

Could do with one of them to replace my crosshair, which is currently running my 9600 @ 2.45ghz stable. Gets a bit flakey at 2.50ghz + though

Looks very well made. I'd imagine OCUK will be stocking them very soon.

What's that memory chip thing, like a dedicated memory for the onboard GFX? (side-port memory?)

spicypixel · 15 Mar 2008 at 23:26

Yes, its 64mb of dedicated VRAM for the card. So yeah it would be nearly identical performance to the full size PCIe 2400XT. Just overclocks better

simonnance · 16 Mar 2008 at 00:57

wow, so this thing virtualy has a 2400XT built into the board, mATX form factor.

Makes me want to build an HTPC.

bayo000 · 16 Mar 2008 at 01:49

i've read bout this bout a week ago and am also thinking of building htpc, would prolly stick another 2400xt in it as well
