Gibbo, any chance of Ocuk getting these in, seen a few of these around on the interweb but at a quite high price which I don't mind paying for, just wondering

Cheers

I have been asking about this one for the last month

no replies as yet

Read a few reviews on this board, looks very promising. Currently have the Sapphire Pure Innovaton which is a cracking board. Need some new memory though

That southbridge isn't as bad as everybody makes out, I have that very same one in my Sapphire Pure Innovation, and USB throughput is a littke slower, but thats about it, I don't see it to be a huge issue.

so are you saying this mobo is same

Sapphire PURE Advantage CrossFire Radeon Xpress 200P CrossFire (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-003-SP)

Not exactly, this other board has the RD580 northbridge, and 32 pcie lanes, allround better motherboard

Hi there

We have them on order, but lots of confusion over pricing, if I get price I want these will be sub £100 all in.......but Sapphire may have made a boo boo.....

Wow hopefully that would be a cracking price Gibbo, is the comfusion relating to the northbridge it uses? I found that confusing when i trawled the Sapphire webbie, they have 2 products under one name
