How much will these board be when they come to the UK?

 

[Ham]

If its anything like the black ops (i think it was called), a lot.

Does this mean I have to break open my piggy bank?:wavey::wavey::wavey:

aw

this is making me and my x38 feel really rather outdated

2xSAS??

 

[Dualist]

This is the bit I like.....

Like all X58 Express-based motherboards, the Foxconn X58 Renaissance will come with native support for the ATI CrossFire X multi-GPU technology. We do not know if the final Foxconn X58 Renaissance motherboard will include the newly-announced NVIDIA nForce 200 SLI processor. It is certainly a possibility. After all, the launch of the Bloomfield and X58 Express chipset is still a few months away.

Want SLi

SAS is nice but I'd prefer a rampage extreme with a decent processor over that. Specially as the rampage extreme would be able to hold it's own against most systems for at least a year.

Around the net I`ve heard some solid things Foxconn wize, it`ll be interesting as to how their X58 venture goes.

Am keen to hear details on the nVidia/X58 models as they come out and get field tested. Til then X38/X48 will last me a fair while.. well maybe the X48 will.

Looks bloody horrible though ay!

A buddy of mine who works at Foxconn said the boards he is dealing with has the n200 chip. He says he never knows if the boards he sees are final retail or not though.

Agreed. its worse than another manufacturer I know that used all the colours under the rainbow.

Gigabyte? Or MSI to an extent?

U think the DFI is neutral colored ?

 

[Bungral]

Depends which... I think some DFI's are alright. Even when bright can still be coordinated quite well.

That said some DFI's are pretty bad thinking about it.

 

[PP Mguire]

I think they should make a DFI with black pcb and hot pink slots. Just my opinion. I kinda fancy the yellow now though.

 

[JN]

Hehe maybe not. Tho the recent Black + Green theme works well for NV based rigs.

Orange was also pretty cool back in the day, when most people only had blue or green in their rigs.
