Did you try signing up for wiialerts? I got one within a week of starting to look...... Not really sure why I bought one, I guess I wanted to see why they are so hard to find. Plus Smash Bros. is coming soon, which was one of my favorites.
That was interesting, but sounds like a definite PITA to get it to function well. Honestly I don't see much benefit from doing it either at this time.
"Conclusion: it is anything but convenient and requires computer restarts, but it works"
The only point he has is that there is no real reason for most companies to upgrade to Vista at this time. It would be a huge expense with little to show for it.
So you have ATI display drivers running one monitor and Nvidia running another? It doesn't seem like it should work does it.... I think it would just create system conflicts.
Personally I don't think it is worth it for me. I'll get upgrade the e8400 for my 680i, and the next time I upgrade I'll probably be switching to a new MB. I don't really see a need for a quadcore yet.
Funny, those two google ratings sound like the same person.
No good contact info. on the site and not a lot of info. provided here. Personally I'm staying away.

I also thought it was a lame attempt at humor, but $231 is a decent price for that card. Too bad it's from a store I've never heard of and that has no reseller ratings for it that I could find.
Well my 680i has decided to stop working with my 6400 Ballistix Tracers completely with the C1 error. Put in some Patriot 6400 and it will boot just fine. So I'm not sure if the memory controller is just acting flaky or if it has eaten up my ram as others have complained. Being the paranoid...
I would wait unless you want to be frustrated. I'm on my second evga 680i MB, and yesterday after coming back from a business trip I tried turning on my machine and got the lovely C1 errors and no posting. This was the same thing that happened to me in the beginning of the year. I tried each...
If you put the -DX9 to the .exe and it runs, then you know you are running into a DX10 issue. My 8800 GTX and Vista wouldn't work either until I installed the latest nvidia beta drivers in addition to the Microsoft DirectX End User Runtime application.
Now it runs great, and it's the best...
Saw this over at FW, credit goes to zoym.

Any updates to your errors?
I started getting BSODs, random lock ups and delays, and then my machine wouldn't POST with a C1 error (was getting some 1d errors as well). It appears that that the memory controller has died and in the process of RMAing it now (RMA approved in one day, now...
It runs great for me, I'm running a single 8800GTX @ 1920 x 1200 and settings maxed out, it has no issues for me. Maybe something isn't working for people with SLI? Maybe you could try disabling that and seeing if it runs better using 1 video card for now.
I am enjoying the game, great...
I have loved all the C&C games, even Renegade, and even Generals and Zero Hour. However, I was completely disappointed with this demo. It's like C&C for people with ADD. No tactics needed, it's just a unit spam fest. I already pre-ordered it but I am seriously considering cancelling it now...
No offense taken, I understand the point you were making. I also do not have much tech experience, as I mentioned this is indeed my first build. Everything has gone well for me though, I flashed to P24 before installing windows, run @ stock for a couple weeks before OC'ing. Even now, I'm just...
This is my first build as well, but I'm not a kid with too much money. I figured it would be good for true SLI performance and also I can upgrade to QC when I am ready and the prices are much more reasonable.
I see, I have my X-Fi installed and didn't notice anything, I did read about wireless NIC issues before.
I do see some people having issues with P25 as well....... I think I'll wait since P24 works fine for me right now.
Just built a rig a month ago with the 680i after doing all the research on these boards. This was the first computer I've ever built and it has all gone very smooth, flashed to the P24 BIOS before loading windows and did not install the nTune or NAM programs that seem to cause issues for...
Actually if you read the complaints, most of the posts are by the same people. Check out newegg reviews, most people seem to be happy with the board. If you are happy with a board you don't go complain about it, you sit back and enjoy. I'm still debating to get the evga board or the Abit...
Please go back to the website, it has the big Nvidia SLI ready logo on the right on the main page. But yes, of course it is the 680i chipset, so it is true x16 SLI.
Price shows $371 now too. I guess they figured they could gouge more since they sold out of everything.
Early reports indicate a pretty good OC potential. Seen 500 FSB and 495 FSB reports.
Maybe I should have bit, but would like to see some more reviews on it first before making the plunge.
$338 here and supposedly in stock.
