LanParty UT RDX200 now or wait for new S.Bridge?

[CrimsonKnight]

title says it all....looking to go from my MSI K8N Neo2 Plat to a new PCIe mobo...just read AATs article on the DFI LanParty UT RDX200...seems to be a beast....but the USB performance and lack of SATAII is making me think I should hold out till the new southbridge is released, since DFI stated they would switch when it becomes available...any ideas?

well, if you want crossfire with SATA2, ECS has one board with an additional SATA2 controller. If usb2.0 performance is really important, then you can either wait or get a USB2 PCI or PCI-e card.

While I don't really use ECS for my built, I would have got that board if it was now available in Canada. But I decided to get the Asrock, just to try something different from VIA and Nforce chipset.

Did you look at the latest Asus motherboard AT reviewed based on that same chipset? Overclocking monster with SATA2 and on par USB performance.
