It is c. 240$.
But please do not forget
Hey Andre, would you say the DFI or the Abit 680i-Board is the better Choice?
@ All
Does OCZ Flex run on the EVGA 680i?
It is very important for me.

I would guess around $300 (hopefully less than that!)

AndreYang,
Have gotten the board above 500FSB?
Thanks,

Abit bios is still buggy but the latest beta has cleared up a few issues. My biggest complaint on the abit is the massive vdroop of this board @ load. I have to set 1.5125v in bios foro the load to stay @ 1.42-1.43v. It appears the DFI board is faster for Pi & stuff. The chipset may run cooler because of that massive northbridge cooler which may help in overclocking. The abit is expensive though but I still like the Uguru utility & front Panel. I boot @ 3.6ghz 1.4025vcore 24/, but crank it up with the uGuru utility for benching etc.

Last I read is there's another beta that's suppose to be made available @ their forum later today. I'm currently using V1.2 Beta 1 - 03/29/2007 which has the nice "evaluation rom not for resale" on the screen when I boot. This bios did however solve the usb keyboard & mouse in bios issue.

have you tried the EVGA A1 or T1 revision boards?

Would be interesting to see how far the chipset can go without being riddled by heat issues.

There is a store here in Australia that has the board on pre-order for $440AUD. Not bad compared to all the other 680i boards available.
I think the only thing that's stopped me from buying this board is the price. It's quite a bit more than the P5N32-E SLI. Do you happen to have any experience with the asus?
I'd like the DFI most of all, but I think it'll be too long for a retail release. I'm in the market NOW

If you're in the market now, the Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus and Non-plus boards are both excellent choices. They perform on par with the Striker Extreme but do not cost an arm and a leg.
I have the plus board and it's been a lot of fun to tweak. However, like all other boards, it has its quirks and takes a bit of patience to learn.
Another good option is the eVGA 680i board which can be had for $180-ish after rebate.
But if you can just wait a bit longer, I think the DFI board will be worth the wait. Hopefully they'll address the quadcore overclocking issue with a new bios update.
I thought that the hybrid motherboard with the older 5 series sli chip didn't clock as well? I just saw that the Abit board is around $310 which is a little too steep for me. For $225, I can get the P5N32-E SLI. I would ultimately like that the most. It has 3.45v available for ram as well.
We'll see what the price of this DFI board is though. I suppose I can live with my QUADGT for a few more weeks if I have to.

No I never tried the asus 680i chipset based boards. I did however try the 650i Asus board & it didn't acheive FSB over 450mhz. Only the Striker from what I read would suit my overclocking and after reading alot of problems with that & the other Nvidia Asus boards I stayed clear of it. Limited vcore upon intial release was a problem for me too. Comparitively, the Asus offerings are not faster or more stable than the evga 680i. The evga is very memory friendly & I kinda wish I had kept my particular board. Of all the boards I've overclocked since conroe came out, it was by far the easiest. It pushed my E6400 to 3.7ghz right out the box & all I did was set the cpu-vtt to 1.5v & cpu to 1.5v. No increase on the northbrige or southbridge voltages were necessary. Nor was any indept tweaking. Unfortunately @ that time the ps2 keyboard & mouse were unuasble when overclocking. After the P25 bios didn't solve the problem, & raid was still hit or miss I returned the board because my 30 days was coming up. If you don't like the price or availability of the DFI board, consider the evga. Supposedly most of the bugs are worked out and the new revision is quad core FSB friendly. I love my IN9 32-Max. It's as worth the $300 price tag, as much as the P5W DH was worth its $269.

oh no!...don't even think about 3.45v as an attraction!...haven't you been reading about people burning their ram up with 2.4v and above....you might go to 2.6 just for a very short time with a fan blowing air on the ram but that vmem will certainly burn your ram up in about 2-3 weeks if you decide to run the puter for any lengthy period.
