Apple demonstrates “near final” Vista beater

I'm a big fan of the old DFI Black and Gold look, but black PCB FTW 99% of the time tbh :D
Oh yeah missed that, DFI black & yellow ftw too. You know what would look cool (IMO)? Black + neon green :D
Black + neon green :D
Most deff. That would rock. I have to agree the mobo looks like someone ate a bag of Haribo and puked it back up, stuck in some sata ports, pci-e slots and called it a mobo lol
@ Mr. Popo - granted it doesn't say SLI - but the slide states 'nvidia dual graphics' which is essentially SLI. Perhaps they haven't worked out how they are getting around the clause which Jim pointed out in his post ;)

It doesn't say SLI cause NVIDIA hasn't approved the actual use of SLI.
You can wink as much as you want, but it doesn't have SLI support (Not yet anyway).
What I mean I guess is I`ve seen a number of things claim ""support"" and it means they got something to work in a lab whilst standing on one leg with the power button half pressed in or whatever. AND drivers for vista only.
More importantly perhaps, even tho it says/claims ATI & nVidia Multi gpu thangy wongy support.--- u reckon it`ll be just that ""support"", or it`ll be something worthy of the claim.

imo it'll be just like Crossfire/SLI support on abit's AW9D e.g. works fine as long as you can find a gfx driver for it.
Only difference is that Foxconn have said that they'll be supplying the driver (which will be interesting as nVidia don't like people playing with their drivers - but then Foxconn build the reference nF680i mobos for nVidia so there's obviously a relationship).
"Hello,
Will Nvidia SLI will be supported on X38A mainboard?
Best Regards"
Foxconn answer:
"Dear,
Thank you for supporting FOXCONN product.
X38A doesn't support SLI.
It supports crossfire."
So all the rumours about this hybrid mainboard... were just rumours.
Another candidate to have a good mainboard for new penryn cpu and another 8800GTX at home is gone....waiting for x48 chipset will end up like this or nvidia will finally come up with a new "free" drivers for SLI on other chipsets? Anybody know about hacked drivers for 8800 series?
Bye
