 | Looks good to me... nice 2nd gen chipset, and as you say it's putting out some bad boy speeds! Only thing I'm not so keen on is the ULi southbridge (I know they are supposed to be solid but... eww ULi  ), and the fact that after you put a double slot graphics card in there is no usuable PCI-E 1x slot  Anandtech had a review but it's been pulled down! These boards aren't suppose to exist yet because ATi haven't launched the chipset, but some cheeky/lucky buggers have got their mits on retail boards already! Suman |

| No idea about the validity of the sources, but someone at Anandtech forums mentioned that DFI has no intention of releasing a RD580 board (presumably on 939). http://forums.anandtech.com/messagev...VIEWTMP=Linear  |

I find it slightly absurd that the A8R32 is currently priced higher than the A8N32, when the former lack some of the gravy of the later (heatpipe/8 phase). Even if those are not necessary for the RD580, it should lower the price of the motherboard. |

| The Asus RD580 board only has 1 PCI x1 slot and that looks like my X1900XTX would actually block it Waiting to see what the others produce as I want to go PCI-E Raid soon.
