Abit AA8-DuraMAX 925X Opinions

[fernis]

Anyone have any experience with this MB or chipset yet?

Lots of very nice features I'm just concerned with the stability of the board with so much new stuff.

I say buy it :)

You need to get the new SATA drives, PCI card, 775 chip, and DDR2 and let us all know how it goes :bday:

Overclock to the max on air, water, and phase please :D

I will wait to hear how it goes :beer:

Really (tong in cheek) your blazing a trail, if you got the time and money many here (including me) would like to know how it goes. I have not seen may with the new systems yet.

I was going to get the AG8, but I'm now waiting until we find out more about the rumored overclocking restrictions that Intel supposedly put on the 915/925 chipsets. You do know the AA8 will require a new 775 CPU, PCI-Express vid card, and DDR2 RAM, right? Perhaps a 24 pin power supply connector too.

Are all the parts needed available? A DR. at work wants me to build him a nice machine and could afford all new top of the line components.

Yeh , read the article here at OC and just about :cry: at the thought of a OC'ing restriction on the next chipset . OMG , why is Intel so worried about a few free MHZ/GHZ .

It will be very interesting to see if this really comes to reallity ; and If so .... not sure what a poor (Intel) OC'er is gonna do for fun and enjoyment in the future .

Can you say AMD64 .....

Yea I agree, such a shame. My plans were to move to Conroe once it is available. But after this news, it *will* be an A64 rig.

Im not buying a PC and not overclocking it. Sorry. I dont care if its considerably slower either. Every PC I own, will be overclocked.
