The nVidia GeForce 6100+nForce 410 chipset is at NewEgg...

What is the difference with the 450 South Bridge over the 410 South Bridge....?

WOW!!! A 6150 with a 430 South Bridge is going to be quite a machine!

I think these were the boards I saw prototype pics of AGGGGEEEESSSSS ago, DAMn they took a while getting here.

I`m waiting for Epox to get their Crossfire and SLI-32 boards out, not that I care as much any more, I`ve jumped ship to DFI.

Opto 150 3.3+
DFI SLI-DR
2x512 CH5 @ 3.4V 266MHz, 1.5-2-2-0

Yep! The BIOS Overclock options pushed me over the top:

Vcore: -.2V to +.25V over default
Vdimm: 2.5V to 3.2V
Vdd: 1.2V to 1.5V
HTT: 200Mhz to 450Mhz
Memory Timings: All 24 similar to DFI nF4
MaxMemlock: 100 to 250
HTT Ratio: Standard
CPU Ratio: Standard with half multipliers

Let's just hope that it's a little bit more compatible with diferent CPU's and MEMs then the Biostar is. [Wavey]

Have just read a spanish review of the MJ board and they were only able to post up to 223.

Polygon we need "real life" feedback.

I can guarantee you right now, that the board has a favorite CPU, Memory brand/model and BIOS....

I should have it by tomorrow.....

There we go again...

So basically it's not a board preference but a chipset thing, right?

No... Every board manfacturer implememts standard chipsets differently. Some nF3 or nF4 boards may like the same CPU and memory, but there is no guarantees...

All the nF4 boards I tested, all like different memory brands of TCCD. Even the memory module manfacturers using the exact same TCCD chip, produce modules that play differently, on different boards...

And just recently I'm finding that those nF4 boards all like different CPU's...

For example: The DFI nF4 Ultra does not like the San Diego; The ABIT AN8-Ultra likes the San Diego; The MSI Neo4 does not like early Winchesters; The ASRock 939Dual SATA II likes the E3 Venice over everything else; and the list goes on and on..

The boards, CPU's and memory are running at such high frequencies that very minute' differences in placement of parts, tracks, etc, affect how the board plays.....

I have tested name brand memory that would not even POST on certain boards....

All this is a fact of life in the 64 Bit world as we try to go over 250HTT and approach 3Gig....
