can't give competitor links sry. And that date isn't set in stone, it's an ETA i saw on another UK competitor site. Use google, i'm sure you'll find it

is yours 1066 or 1333 ?
once i get the info from the intel rep i'll post here and let u know which pad on the chip to issolate in order to make it run @ 1333

Go for the 680i, its got 2 pci-e *16 slots, and apparently a great overclocker, or get a cheapo board and wait for the great at overclocking (or so I hear) rd600.
