Big time fail on the board layout. At the very least the PCI-E x4 slot should be moved to the left. Even better would be replacing one of the PCI slots with a PCI-E x1. As it stands, using a dual slot video card means you have no free PCI-E slots.
They pulled the same shit with Linux. They threaten lawsuits, but never say what code is supposedly infringing.

Apparently you have problems with reading comprehension. Section 1524(g) only applies to newspaper, magazines, other periodicals, press associations or wireservices. Jizmodo is none of those things.
The closest ATI solution would be two Eyefinity 5870s in Crossfire. Seeing as how those are $499 each, I'd say the Ares would be at least $1k. Add on the limited edition "tax", and $1100 - 1200 is a good guess.
I'd suspect that at the price they're going to charge for this thing, you're going to get better performance from two GTX 480s in SLI for the same or less $$$
How much effort did it take (tweaking, etc.) to get above 3.5Ghz? I'm not worried about extreme overclocking, water cooling, etc., and I could spring for a different HSF.
I'm debating between the GA-X58A-UD3R and i7 920 vs a ~$200 board (EVGA P55 FTW, etc.) and an i7 860. They both work out to roughly the same price. I'd like to overclock, using the retail HSF, if possible to around 3.4Ghz with minimal tweaking. I figure either of these systems will be more...
I'm looking at buying an i7-860 and would like to overclock, but not spend time with all the usual tweaking it entails. Any recommendations on P55 boards with a really good auto-overclocking feature? I'd like to get around 3.3Ghz with turbo on and the retail CPU cooler (seems well within...
Wasn't there supposed to be a 5970 with 4GB RAM and 6 mini-display port outputs? ..or maybe it was a 5870 with 2GB RAM and 6 outputs.

What reality do you live in? Carly drove the company into the ground. Hurd was brought in to turn things around after they kicked her ass to the curb.
She'll fit right in with the rest of the politicos though.
It's really no big deal. It's just a PCI-E x4 expansion card with USB 3.0 and SATA III controllers onboard. Probably NEC and Marvell. Should be able to take the card and plug it into any motherboard with a x4, x8 or x16 slot.
LOL. He tests with a 150GB Raptor and a SATA 2.0 Samsung drive and you call those old? Wow. Just... wow. Dan's testing shows that this is a piece of shit motherboard and you blame it on "older" equipment? They're a 150GB Raptor and a SATA 2.0 drive, not some PIO 2 drive from the 90's. Then...
