    This will likely be the only Intel-based ATi RD600 board, but it's DFI's claim to fame: the ICFX3200-T2R/G (try rolling that off your tounge). [H]ard|OCP takes it for a spin to see what the fuss is about:

    At the end of the day, this board has some short comings. It's unclear at this point if these short comings are due to the use of the Xpress 3200/SB600 chipset, or the particular implementation by DFI, and we will likely never know. I do have hope that this board can be fixed with BIOS updates in the future. With the storage subsystem problems corrected, I'd be far more forgiving in my opinions of this board. What I do know is that you are better off sticking with an Intel chipset based board for your Crossfire needs. In short, you can get better performance for the same or even less money.

    As a DFI user, I do hope they get some BIOS updates shot out for this board to address some issues. Given that AMD owns ATi now, this is speculated to be the only motherboard for the Intel platform with this chipset.
