AT tested first Gigabyte Nforce 4 production board :)

[flexy]

ahhhhh....what about a comparison ATI RX480 vs. NF4 ?

Anyway, this board sounds yummy, even if i dont have an idea what to do with 8 SATA ports (4 of 'em 3gig/s)....bunch of firewire ports, 3 LAN ports and 8 USB 2.0 etc...etc....

Link for the lazy

:Q

and now the 1000000 question, ok, i have TWO !

1) 1Gig HT, works ????!!!!!

2) Does the ThermalRight XP-120 HSF FIT on these boards ??????!?!?

With the limited ranges of CPU clock speeds available in the pre-release Gigabyte BIOS, it was not possible to test overclocking thoroughly. We were able to reduce multipliers and easily reach 250FSB, which was the top speed available in the pre-release BIOS. However, until we receive the updated BIOS, we cannot determine the full overclocking capabilities of the K8NXP-9

Doh! Still looks good.

So much for that new "Fatal1ty" board.

I hope this is a trend!

A very fine board that seems to solidify that NF4 will be worth the wait.

LOL, no doubt. Wesly laid the smack down on the Fatal1ty in the conclusion of that review...

the FX55 and 4000+ on the nForce4 wipe the floor with the Fatal1ty/3.46EE in gaming performance

The question is... When can we get one??? I've been holding out for the nforce4 board for what seems like an eternity now!

Kudos to Gigabyte for producing a worthy board. I hope that the other MB makers have aces up their sleeves as well.

I wish I could afford a setup like that.
