Radeon Xpress 200

I was just reading through the Anantech article on the Xpress 200 and it looks like its promising. I've been an nforce loyalist since Socket A. It would take something significant to make me move away from the nforce series of chipsets because they've performed so well for me personally. Should I take a long hard look at Xpress 200 before my next major upgrade? which could be soon.

I will look at it, but only if it comes out before the other 939/PCIe boards... I hope ATI comes out first just so they get the large amount of us that are just waiting for a friggin PCIe 939 board to be able to buy. But then again I am impatient, and as you sound like a patient person, I would recommend looking at the ATI board, it seems to be quite up to par with the NForce4. Neither seems to be significantly better than the other, so it is up to the board manufacturers to make quality boards using either one.

As long as there aren't any erratic bugs and it overclocks well I'd take a look at it.

Don't know if I'll ever get one, but more choices is always a good thing. It certainly does look promising.

I am definelty anxious for 939 PCIe boards to enter the market, so I am all for giving the Radeon express 200 a shot. I'll probably go with whoever gets their boards to market first.

Anyone thinking of dual PCIe + Express 200 = many monitor?
They could allow people to hook up 6 monitors, if they got it worked out.
I'm not getting an AMD-64 yet, but I would probably wait until SLI had come out from more than one source (motherboard wise), and ATi had released their competing product.

If ATi and nVidia "SLI" have different requirments, I would rather know before I bought any motherboard.That was I can make a decision also based on their solutions.

I am very much waiting for PCI-E S 939. Due to various points

1) 939 Sounds obviously as DA FUTURE
2) PCI-E though young sounds like the same thing, especially when they get a hang of it

And according to AT, hardwareanalysis.com and at least few other respectable sources, Xpress 200 is not just a hype. Thus, also adding into the stir that I started all the rumpus having a well runnning system already is do to Multimedi card of my dreams ATI X600 PRO AIW (that JUST appeared on the egg yesterday....droool). So would be logical to get RS480M2-IL. Unfortunately that's the only choice I c and I would appreciate if anybody would point out somth else in PCI-E S 939 realm. And it would be extra super sweet (ESS) to fit that and OC'd 3500+ winchester with 3 HDD in SFF :Q.
