Sapphire Xpress 200 enthusiast board

Sounds sick, but I'll wait for the review and stick with my Lanparty until then, maybe I'd switch if it truly blew DFI away.
 
I really don't know what all those guys are freaking out about. The board does look cool. Not a huge fan of it's white PCB, but that's beside the point. Point is, we have no idea how it PERFORMS. DFI has built a killer motherboard that is tried and true. This one looks nice, but we have no idea how it goes. It's like all those import racers putting body kits on their cars, getting new wheels, yet having no "go" under the hood. A honda civic that's made to look fast isn't necessarily fast.

Show me performance ATI, then we can talk. Outdo DFI, and you have me all ears.

And to those guys at XtremeSystems.... boys, seriously... it looks great but chill the fvck out.

Arrr....
 
It kinda looks like you'd have to take the video card out to install more RAM. Maybe it's a bad angle to judge, but it sure looks that way. I would think on an enthusiest motherbaord, that would be one thing that would be addressed.
I like how open-ended this chipset is. Quite interesting.
Can't wait to se how it performs with new BIOS revisions and different branded boards.
 
Thanks for the link GNR, I knew Sapphire had to have something sweet planned. I think it is great that ATI is starting to get serious in the chipset arena, and the 200G doesn't look to have any competition for AMD IGP, especially if it includes the full blown overclocking features.
 
Man, the layout on that board looks so great. Having NB on top of graphics is good for cooling. Just replace the waterblocks with heatsinks and you could get a pretty snappy board for a silent system.
 
damn, that is one fine looking board! needs a black pcb though, with all that red! those blocks look sweet as hell! i'm not giving up my ultr-d for anything though short of an sli-dr!
