ZipZoomFly Has DFI RD600 Listed

Hmm very interesting. This chipset might actually see daylight after all. I hope it comes out vey soon as im planning a motherboard upgrade in the next month to support Crossfire and Core 2.
 
Maybe this means we'll see the DFI 680i board soon too now. Im tempted to go r600, but the 680i turned out pretty nice
 
We shouldn't really judge these mobos. We should all wait for Intel to come out with a revised version of their chipset for the C2D. History has shown that Intel always makes the best chipset for their processors. Not to say that these will be bad motherboards, but I would make it a toss-up between the RD600 and the next gen intel chipset.

Well what has alot of people afraid in there next series of chipsets which would be the 985x(right?) is with the whole AMD + ATI merger, is that the next release of Intel chipsets wont support Crossfire. But who knows. Even though I agree and fully support the Intel makes the best chipsets argument, I think that is coming to a end. Nvidia's 680i is a really really good chipset and supposdly the RD600 is also suppose to be great.
 
It's actually been listed on ZZF for a few weeks. Don't expect to see availability till mid December. ASUS may get their RD600 board out in the next couple of weeks too so you may want to be watching for that one.

Well, Intel went to the MB makers who were going to make RD600 boards and, well, one way or another told them it was in their best interest not to. I really do hate Intel for that. I mean, Intel WANTS to be the best chipset maker in the industry, not their rival (AMD + ATi) even at the expense of quality chipsets.

True, but the thing is that DFI always makes the better overclocking boards(NF4 UT series) and Asus makes the over-priced boards that overclock almost as good...

The only information I can find is on DFI RD600. Any links to information on the ASUS version?
 
If Intel could just play nice with Nvidia (or vice-versa, whoever is being the dick) And we could get SLI on an Intel chipset. I guess Nvidia is holding it back so people have a reason to HAVE to buy an Nv board, considering everything else is very close performance wise & feature set on the motherboards.

Intel 985 chipset vs 680i vs RD600 ?

yea me too. when the news broke a couple months ago that the follow on chipsets to rd/rs600 were to be amd only, i remember reading that all tier 1 and most tier 2 manufacturers had cancelled their intel rd600 boards except for dfi. so while you might see an ecs and/or biostar rd600 board, they are the only ones, and they are only maybes anyway.

LOL... you got any proof to this claim? Come on now... do you really think that Intel would care if ATI/AMD got their half of 1% marketshare with this board. :rolleyes: Give me a break.

You do realize that Intel chipsets are capable of runing SLI and Crossfire right? This "incompatability" has NOTHING to do with Intel... and whether or not 985 will support crossfire or sli is 100% up to the GPU companies. It's all about driver support.
 
The BadAxe2 releases December 2nd or so (thats what I heard anyway) but I'm not sure what chipset it is. Does anyone know what chipset its using?
