According to the review the board has some bios problems. Doesn't like 1t command rate.
And there are a few other clitches. But they allready released new bios updates for the board so maybe that is fixed.
Board does look way cool to me. And is very solid. At first i wanted to buy a Gigabyte myself but i went for the Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe. Very good overclocking board. Confirmed by other reviews and TPU members.

What do you have to pay for the board?

Well im in australia, so in australian dollars, about $450

What is t1 command rate?

technicks · May 3, 2007

That's how you can setup your ram. 1T is faster then 2T. Those are settings in the bios.

That's a lot of cash to spend on a mobo.
Are you planning to overclock?

Yeah im going to get an e6700 and overclock the heck out of it

technicks · May 4, 2007

Then i would get the E6600. So you don't throw away cash. E6600 overclocks just as good from what i know. :toast:

Difference between 1T and 2T command rates are minimal, around 2%.
