Hi ken,

Thanks for the update. How will this affect the expected price of the board now that it will be X48 chipset?

Regards,
Matthew

As someone looking to buy an X38 board is there a technical reason why you have decided against it or purely commercial reasons ??.

Going to be £150?

any chance you can get he 24pin atx connector right angled?

tutu · 15 Mar 2008 at 02:08

Does that mean it's also delayed? DDR3 prices are still too high. I think you will be missing your target segment (value motherboard) if you make it too much..

Why do you want that? I can only seeing it helping if you have the cable coming from underneath.

I know I wouldn't want it cos you have to bend the cable and getting out and in would be harder.

Bah 2 weeks until I need to order my new computer to work with my 24" TFT. Can only hope its out by then.

a very brief test overclocking the memory only
with a normal pair of Ballistix, NOT Golden Sample.

steve258 · 17 Mar 2008 at 13:42

2.5V Cas6

it'll die in no time given Ballistix's track record.

Will be very impressed if it will even boot into windows.
