ASUS will be among the first to embrace the ATI's new chipset. We saw a sample of ATI's reference motherboard at CES, and ATI will announce this board in a few days time. The code name is RD580 while it will be commercially known as the Radeon Xpress 3200.

Asus finally decided to make a high end board based on this chipset. Its RD480, A8R-MVP board was sucessful but it lacked some high end features. Well, this will change now as the new board has Deluxe in the name. Asus will offer some of the nice features of its Deluxe boards to the community. It is almost ready to announce its Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe and we even know that some of the samples are already out.

ASUS is still tweaking the board and we heard that the RD580 should be the most overclocked platform available. It will sure surpass the Nforce 4 SLI overclockability as we know that the reference RD580 can go at more than 300 MHz FSB easily, and even more than that. Nforce 4 SLI will win on features, but it is up to motherboard manufacturers to include all the nice features on the boards as you can use external chips to include support for all the nice features that are not part of the chipset. Crossfire is finally becoming a mature player.
 
Yes...it is fantastic board. Anand reported about this back in Jan if I am not wrong. It seems Chipset is really lethal. I don't remember where but I read somwhere that RD580 has ability to run the at FSB/HTT link at a high of 2500MT/s effortlessly, and that says a lot about ATI tweaking the hell out of that Chipset. I doubt about ASUS in the Super league as they hold back a lil compared to "going all out" policy of DFI. But I don't doubt there sheer excellence in making a stable performer out of almost anything.
 
Darky, If you want to go for "Crossfire" way then this board is good.... otherwise you are very well with "A8R-MVP" + Opty 170 also...and it will cost you less then A8R32-MVP Dlx for sure.... just my 2 cents... rest is upto you!
