I have the board and I'm now posting on it. This is the most difficult board I ever tried to set-up! There are 39 Memory settings! Zillions of other settings I have no idea as to what they are...

All kinds of crazy things happening. On boot-up, it's trying to boot from LAN and I don't see any way to turn that off...

Running a Opty the board likes Patriot "XBLK" a little better then G.Skill "LE" new vintage..

It's a beautiful board with super heatsinks and things. I'll post pics tomorrow...

It loaded W2K in about 5 minutes at default speeds!

I've only had it up and running for about 2 hours now, so it's a real learning curve for sure....

More as we progress.... Thanks ZZF!

With G.Skill 2X512 "LE"(new), I can boot at 9X315 with a +.1V increase on both chipset voltages. 325 needs +.2V on both chipset voltages....

Posting this reply at 9X300...... [ThumbsUp]

I think DFI has a real winner with this board. Especislly for $105US......

Upon Boot-Up, the POST screen displays: "Intel UNDI PXE-2.0" and some other stuff including the LAN MAC address, and the system appears to be trying to boot from the network. This takes about a minute or 2 until it gives up....

I can't find a way to turn it off..... [Frown]

First came the Epox EP-9GF6100-M hitting 315HTT, now we have a bigger boss in the DFI RS482 INFINITY ... 2 integrated micro-atx boards that give the big boys a run for their money ... this isn't supposed to happen.
Nice work Polygon!

Finally this board is available in europe! I will be getting one in few days.

Does the north and southbridge generate as much heat as in 6100/MCP410 based boards do?
