I'm waiting to see what MSI has to offer.

If you cut through the pro-Gigabyte stuff it seems that it's actually very little better than the best current 975 ASUS board (for roughly the same money?) when tested with a Presler chip. When tested with a Conroe, who knows?

Thanks for posting the link as reviews are very thin on the ground at the moment.

Something to keep you up to date whilst your waiting.

Thanks. There's a lot there. I'm waiting for the 'Back to the Future' 865 chipset boards - I think that sounds great.

I actually already have one of the ASRock 775 TWINS R2.0 boards - all I need now is my 6600 and I'll tell you how much faster it really is than an a 540, 630, 840 or 940 as they will all run in that one board.

Actually - I'm on about P5 of that thread and it's just all gone to 'my speculative motherboard will be better than your speculative motherboard' which is kind of where I came in..

LOL
i've never had anything against Gigabyte boards and have used my fair share (with no problems) in the past... but i'd never... ever... in my wildest dreams thought i'd see that for a Gigabyte motherboard... it has to be a joke surely...

I think the kindest thing one can say is that the review was very positive in light of the facts.

I see its been sold out already on oc

WJA96 · 27 Jun 2006 at 22:29

I don't think they ever had any, did they?

i believe thats a case of "we're going to be getting this soon, but aren't ready to take preorders yet"

so sold out appears to stop people buying them up without OcUK having a confirmed amount of stock available.

dafloppyone · 27 Jun 2006 at 22:49

they had preorder originally for a couple weeks, so i thought this meant that all their preorder stock has been used up?

looks pretty good to me, yeah it maybee slightly behind/ahead in some benchmarks but who can honestly tell the differnce between 470fps and 429
