[Tarkin]

the P5RD2-MVP (with AMR)



and the non AMR Version (P5RD1-V):



These Boards (at least the non AMR Version I guess) should be out very soon (already listet in some european online shops)


ATI launched the Intel version of it's Radeon Xpress 200 Chipset today:

This is pretty awesome but I now don't know if SLI and AMR are all their cracked up to be.

If you read http://www.beyond3d.com/reviews/nvidia/sli/ Nvidia's SLI isn't exactly the savior for low end adopter and at the high where you can so to speak unleash the beast you're often just make an awesome situation...awesomer but probably for no good reason.

I would imagine ATI would have to deal with similar issues but I guess if they have a better implementation maybe they could avoid some the pitfalls Nvidia has fell in to.

Just a word of caustion. I could be wrong.

i swear to god if they dont make an AMD version of the Xpress200 with AMR there will be murders!

Baby murders?

[hamm3rhead]

Baby murders?

we can always hope!

[Blacklash]

Forget Intel,

Give me the Sapphire board linked off the frontpage over at Xtremesystems. That thing is going to rock.

And as other have said, "Hey ATi! Do not forget about AMD with dual graphic card ability!"

Yes I do hope ATI doesn't forget us AMD fans and does release a dual graphics card capable mobo on AMD. I'd like to rather see AMD and ATi take it to nVidia and Intel.

snookums and I will be a suicide commando if ATI won't realease an AMD chipset by the end of the summer

Anybody interested in joining our suicide commando?

Yeah it should be a Fatwa or something. I will join your righteous Jihad.

haha we'ld bring NVidia's cards into the ATI building. Wondering if they have NVidia's cards detectors

[Ratchet]

it's not called AMR btw, ATI is using MVP... at least for now.
Evidence is in the name of the ASUS board, P5RD2-MVP

So what does MVP stands for?

[Ratchet]

Multiple Visual Processors or something like that probably

ok, from now on ATi's MVP Technology will be known as ATi's MVP (which is the stupidest marketing name ever) Technology.

everyone on board?
good.

now, back to planning the assault on ATIHQ

I should be available on 13th August. If ATI didn't respond for AMD cpus, I might take a flight to ATI's HQ. Is that date ok for you?...lol

Why does that board look... gay?

[snookums]

Why does that board look... gay?

because YOU touch yourself at night.

[Potato Masher!]

hahhahahahaha

Why should a board look gay or straight, you arent going to bed with it, you doof.

[Blacklash]

If I had been doing the colors on the sapphire board I would have had a black board with a few silver and grey lines where appropriate. I would have kept the big a$$ ATi sig on the board back and made the SATA and dimms red/white. Guess it's a matter of taste. I do think the white is a bit LOUD.

IMO AMR sounds better than MVP. Isn't that the name Food Lion has on their discount cards?

Anyway you have the A like in ATi and it's one letter away from AMD baby

[snookums]

how many black PCBs do you see... lots
how mnay white PCBs do you see... none! (well, one now. shutup.)

think about have that ***** will glow with a nice UV cathode!

ATI's typical colors : White and Red

Asus's typical colors : Heh?

MSI's typical colors : None

ATI:1 - Others:0

[Auric]

White mainboards have been done before such as the Abit ST6E. MVP is a good name 'cause it relates to ATI's "Visual Processing Unit" moniker and is of course a commonly used acronym for "Most Valued Player".

[Tarkin]

the P5RD1-V (without AMR) is already available...

I guess some reviews should be out soon
