check out these new AM2+ boards!

[j0j081]

I've been checking newegg for a while to see if any new AM2+ boards are coming out soon but decided to look at zipzoomfly for a change. Found a few that should be available soon and are reasonably priced. Check it out!

OOPS. guess you can't copy and paste those links. well anyway head on over to zipzoomfly and just break down the mobos to AM2+ only. here is one of them.

Wow, reasonably priced is right!

 

[j0j081]

yeah anyone building a budget amd system might want one of those in case phenom becomes worth it down the road.

 

[nonameo]

lol, I wish there were some reasonably priced intel motherboards....

Maybe AMD can pull something out of their butt, as I won't be ready to splurge for another month or so. If they can get a phenom out that can do 3.0 on air, and priced less than the Q6600, I might bite.

4/7 of them are OOS though...

I've been looking to build an AM2+ / Phenom for fun.
Just doesn't look like its time yet. I'm going to hold out till after the New Year.

holy shiza... thats for a quad crossfire board too! talk about cheap!

 

[YabbyU]

Dammit......Whens Nvidia's AM2+ comin....grrrrr

 

[DrMrLordX]

I'd be happy if there were more support for Phenom on AM2 boards. Asus seems to have answered the call (I think?) but otherwise . . .

The 99 dollar board isn't crossfire at all sry =| The cheapest one there is the out of stock MSI board for 179.99

This looks good

I don't see what's so great about these boards...perhaps I'm missing something.

The Gigabyte (and Abit) P35 boards retail at around $100, and I'm certain they would outperform these Phenom boards, simply due to superior processors on the intel platform at this point.

The only thing I like about the 790 platform is the potential longevity (if AMD can stay in business long enough).

 

[bradley]

Boards from Tier 1 manufacturers are retailing for $99 right out of the box? That seems like a really good deal to me. Even if obviously AMD boards are cheaper to manufacturer overall.

thats weird... They are using the 790FX chipset (the quad fire chipset) but only one slot?

Why not use the 770 chipset for 1 slot and the 780 for two slots as they were supposed to...

Well, I gues that is actually a GOOD Thing... I would always prefer to get a hifger quality chipset and wouldn't want to pay extra for stupid useless pcie 16x slots that I am not gonna use (I am not buying more then one video card!)

I think not buying a crossfire board if going with a phenom build would be retarded seeing as how the 3870 falls behind the 8800GT. It's a good card I recommended it to my friend since it's easier to find and cheaper(220 he got his for) than a 8800GT, but I also put a crossfire p35 board on the list for his machine so he can buy another 3870 at the beginning of next year and get some more performance.

And what is keeping you from using a 8800GT in the 790FX?

Nothing, really.

But in a month or so some brave soul is gonna put 4 OC'ed HD 3850's (or **gasp** 4 x 3870's) into something like the MSI K9A2 Platinum 790fx and beta test for the hardware and gaimg industries.

I prefer single-card solutions like you but AMD/ATI in their own convoluted way is staggering forward with some pretty dang interesting stuff. I think everyone benfits when all the kinks get worked out.

The MSI K9A2 CF 790[B
is around $100 and will Crossfire x8 / x8. I think ZipZoomfly misreported the chipset as 790Fx.

With a mature BIOS and drivers these suckahs are headed in the right direction

I was refering to the ones in that link and like you said 4 card crossfire. Looks neat =)
