A socket 939 version is on the way, for sure. Don't worry :)

This board makes it all the tougher to hold out and wait for nForce4 and PCIe. Though I'm sure DFI will have a good nForce4 board.

Indeed. I really want to bite the bullet right now :)

That board looks awsome. Maybe I will pick up one of those instead of my weak OCing 8KDA3J....

so yeah...

the thing i've noticed about dfi is that they release these awesome boards after the socket has been released for a while...

oh well....

i pre-ordered mine and got my confirmation that it's shipping out tomorrow... and i ordered some ocz pc3700EB :)

should be a nice combo... hoping for 275 HTT 1:1... or maybe 400+ like bigtoe did :)

Nice. Let us know how it goes when you get it Shim, I'd be really interested in seeing real results. Not that Anandtech's aren't, but I like to see actual end users and not review sites try the shipping product.
BTW, where did you order it from?

Here are a couple links, although it does appear that most of these links are for pre-order.

XtremeGear for $129

Axiontech for $132

GameVE for $136 (shipped I believe)

A few guys at XS have had the pre-production board with similar, if not better results, so there's no reason to believe why us end-users won't have the same success.

It's still good to see shipping products doing just as well.

Shim

According to DFI product specification, it supports PC2700 (DDR333) and PC3200 (DDR400) DDR SDRAM DIMM. I am a noob at this stuff. How did you know it would work with the PC3700EB?

On a different note, I just sent an email to Zalman asking if this board was compatible with their CNPS7000A-CU heatsink since Zalman's compatability tables don't mention DFI boards. If anyone is interested, I will let you know when I receive a response.
