Hehe that board is one of the most awaited boards. It the RS480 based sapphire board (also known as grouper). Its the only board that has the potential to be a DFI killer. It supports 4V vdimm without jumpers. Seemingly there'll be a crossfire version of that board out soon as well.
Well, read more here : http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2481
This was the first look at the motherboard way back in November (the board was internally known as "Bullhead" back then as well) : http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2269
Like Chaos said, this is a pure enthusiast overclocking board and could give the DFI nForce boards a real run for their money! If the DFI gets your adrenaline pumping, this should double that feeling
Anandtech's initial testing with this board has shown it to perform right up there with the top boards in everything including Overclocking! The interesting fact is, this is supposed to be a "reference" board , i.e. the basic framework that most other manufacturers will copy or further enhance. Overclocking among other things arent the strong points of just about any reference board. Considering this 'reference board' manages it with ease, just think how much better the standard production boards with this chipset would be! A DFI based on this would definately rock :hap2:
I only wonder why they took so long to bring it to market :huh:, considering Anandtech themselves could test out a sample way back in November. nForce4s would have barely had a market share had that happened.

Ati's older chipset for the A64 was also a great oc'er in reference form.What became of it?Only MSI has a board on that chipset and one that didn't oc at all.

We can only get to know this board better when it land in the hands of consumers.
Also when more and more sites review this board.
