    UMMM... I'm not liking the benchies they're getting here... The XP2100 is killing it at everything but memory bandwidth. However, they must have used crappy ram in the nforce2 board because I can get better sandy numbers out of my via board with HyperX. I'll be waiting for more info before delving praises to this chipset/opteron cpu combo.

    Of course you're not liking the benchies, it's running a BETA bios! That's why I called it a "Sneek Peek" it ain't ready for prime time-yet.

    omg! i dont think ive seen a board with the ram so far away from the AGP slot, they have really gone to town on keep the DIMM access clear of the AGP! lol

    [EDIT] thought id better comment on the performance, well, it doesnt stand out, but for a 1.6ghz CPU looks pretty good compared with the 3ghz P4.
