Yes, but SLI performance will suffer a lot because:

1) the two cards won't be connected with the SLI connector, which hurts performance greatly;

2) one of the graphics cards will be on a x2 slot.

good to see other boards are starting to come. I would buy but I ain't gonna give that much for a board with no reviews or no user opinions on it. I'll sit out through this round of boards and wait till the next shipment.

From the photo, looks like the positioning of HSF for the NF4 chipset could interfere with a long PCI-e video card, and might interfere with a couple of PCI slots for long cards. Seems like this location is where pretty much all the manufacturers are placing the NF4 chipset. Anyone know if this turns out to be a real issue?

Anyone have any idea if a XP-120 will fit on this? I've been holding off on a Neo2 cause it doesn't fit it.

screw ZZF and their crazy dating!

Alright! Finally you get to play with an Ultra board.

Everything is timing. I had two builds that had requested the MSI board, but when the dates got pushed back the sixth time, they opted for the Asus board, which I've already ordered and have here on hand.

To date, it's the best overclocker of the bunch, at least the pre-release board oc'ed very well. ;)

I JUST got the gigabyte board yesterday. And Monarch shipped it like 4 horus after I ordered it (fast little buggers...amazed me. Now ZipZoomFly's gotta send the proc and the ram). Kind of annoyed now...I was eyeing up this board for a bit until I finally just ordered the Gigabyte one.

Ah well, the reviews are good and hopefully that one works well.

Hey I am curious. How comparable is the MSI NF4 Ultra to the DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra? Non SLI? Anyone know what the differences are? Also, can this one be modded to be SLI just like the DFI? If so, is there a difference between what the two can do in that sense? Or are they pretty much identical? Also I heard that DFI shipments are delayed til first week of Feb. due to a last minute problem they discovered.

One last question? How does this compare to the VNF4?
I'm clueless when it comes to these things so please help.
