AM2 Crossfire?

[OBCT]

MSI in California. Do you feel like calling Global? I don't.

 

[Willardjuice]

Well they speak English too, and usually know a little bit more. The K9A Platinum isn't even on the MSI California site.

Also, what did Gary say?

 

[OBCT]

Nothing yet. Could you call MSI Global and see what they say?

 

[Willardjuice]

Going out tonight, maybe tomorrow, perhaps someone else could?

 

[OBCT]

Hmm, ZZF updated the price of the MSI board to $159.99.

 

[Willardjuice]

I can't decide if ZZF changing the price is good or bad. They do change prices a lot for most items, but only by a few dollars. I'm guessing its a good sign though; if they knew it wasn't coming till mid September, they wouldn't have changed the price four times in a week (since there would not be a rush to do so). I am guessing they expect it soonish.

 

[OBCT]

I'm still leery of the fact that the HT (of the K9A platinum) overclocks oddly. If the K9N SLI Platinum works good for OCing, I might stick with it, and upgrade mobos when AM3 gets going.

 

[quizzelsnatch]

*sigh* i'm getting closer and closer to nvidia... damn you ati

 

[Willardjuice]

I don't think it will be a problem. I want to go Crossfire for Christmas, so AM3 really isn't an option for me, especially when quad-core K8L will work for AM2 too.

 

[The Mailman]

what board should I get?

im leaving it up to you guys

asus or msi or ________?

 

[Willardjuice]

I'm going with MSI, decent overclocker, not too expensive, and (hopefully) comes out soon.

 

[Willardjuice]

YES! IT'S NOW IN STOCK AT ZZF; JUST GOT IT WITH TWO DAY SHIPPING FOR $161!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[adamhtesting]

Soon?

Try... NOW!

I just got a notification from ZZF notifying me they now have the K9A boards IN STOCK! Well wasn't that a pleasant surprise.. Sure, it's not the Asus or DF board we've all been waiting for -- but it's a lot better than the only other option at this point (K3A)..

that's not the deluxe version that everyone has been waiting for, however... maybe someday

 

[Willardjuice]

Wow, that is one expensive board. I didn't even realize ASUS made a non-deluxe version.

i know thats not the deluxe veriosn my friend and it wont come out any soon by the looks of it.

 

[Willardjuice]

I think the MSI one is probably better than the non-deluxe version of the ASUS board. And who knows when the deluxe one will be out. I personally think you should grab the MSI board.

 

[The Mailman]

i see no reason for me to hold out any longer for the deluxe, especially if its gonna cost more than the regular

ill get a nicer mobo when i upgrade to AM3 or whatever in a year or so

MSI it is, my new computer will literally be the exact opposite of my current one in every way possible


now i just wish someone would tell me what RAM to get.....noone on this board seems to want to be straight up and tell me what to buy, just give me brand names
