Yeah, I posted that earlier today in mobo section.

But on Asus's web they do not mention it. Strange... Even a search on Asus does not reveal even a press statement.

Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe

It's on Asus' website... pretty board too.

Anandtech published an article on it today but quickly removed it. Prolly an NDA issue.

Check out the overclocking features... Asus guarantee's each board can do 300HTT (given the CPU can also) and not at 3x at 5x that's 1500MHz HTT...😉

That sounds really good, but how much is it US.

i seen an article on Anandtech a few days ago but its down again. it was about 15 pgs long and looked real nice. it was a comparison between the old crossfire board and new 580 board by Asus. the Asus board will only be able to run the vcore voltage to 1.65 which for opteron users isn't very good, but the rest of the features are all there now lets just wait and see how good the DFI board is, oooo i feel its gonna be a hot one

The Asus boards will be ready for release March 1st and the other boards will follow around mid march. Like the DFI, ABIT as well as others. The DFI will support full 16 PCIe dual lanes and pretty much looks like the nForce Ultra D Expert board.

good times are comin!
