I couldn't load it.. Did it state price or availability?

With that chipset I'm guessing it's still on x-fire?

I'm coming to the conclusion its either sli or latest chipset..

Only 1gb? It's useless before you can get it out of the box

I think it's "two 1gb" , badly written nevertheless.. and then there's no more slots

Yeah, sort of old news...but still kind of cool. I might have thought about getting one if they had left the two other slots open to leave the option of putting in more memory. Who knows? Maybe with in a year or so four gigs will be the standard.

lol I'm a nub.

Anyway, even 2gb will be outdated shortly and you have to get a whole new mobo if you want to upgrade.

Those heat pipes are spreading like evil vines. I can see soon into the future us motherboard tweakers will be complaining of burning fingers just to change a jumper.

good thing is, with that much copper, when you're done with the mobo, you can sell it to a scrap yard, hehe

seriously, it is cool, but the need to add the option to get more ram on this thing somehow

When this thing was showed off at Computex, they had a Qimonda thing on that board, along with the Asus logo; I'm thinking it uses Qimonda DDR3 modules.

And Qimonda is Infineon I believe.

Hmm. It is a cool idea as it could save price in the long run buying the motherboard & RAM together, but I think they should've left it to the end-user's preference of RAM instead of bodging them off with their own.

What if a ram module fails? RMA whole board it seems.
