We think that the explanation may be a bit different in looking at these performance charts. ULi is experienced in AGP designs and tweaking, but this is really their first venture into PCIe space. It appears that the PCIe performance is quite good, but it requires a bit more tweaking to bring performance to the excellent performance levels of ULi AGP. When that refinement is complete, the ULi will likely be one of the fastest performers among AMD Athlon 64 boards.

Thanks Wes but why no disk, USB, or network performance comparisons?This board(s) is DOA IMO..
Crap realtek audio and no video don't even let it enter the bargian market unlike ATI will do.
second Uli is a nobody in our market like SiS and won't get any serious attention from the likes of ASUS/ABIT/DFI/Gigabyte performance works.

Woohoo! Just what I needed so I can keep my video card (6600GT) while upgrading from my Athlon XP. Waht we NEED though, is a Palermo for Socket 939.JustAnAverageGuy - Wednesday, July 13, 2005 - link
</didn't read the first paragraph on the last page>:blush;
Any guesses on which manufacturers will be using the chipsets then? Asus, Abit, MSI, etc?

Any idea on when the chipset will be available in retail markets?That is VERY impressive. :thumbsup; ULi

Three words: I want one.Ok, some more words: This board is what I think many people have been clamouring for since early this year. A true bridge board that allows all of us average people to make the switch with the maximum amount of flexibility is what we've wanted.
The fact that it performs well is gravy. For all of us who jumped in on socket 754 early on and have waited to switch to socket 939 (and necessarily pci-e) this now let's us make the move without gouging our wallets.

#4: Hell yeah, now we just need for someone to actually make these...ryanv12 - Wednesday, July 13, 2005 - link
whoa! I didn't know we were getting these boards! And here I was, about to upgrade to a PCI-E board, reluctantly. I think I'll just do Dual-Core and pick up this motherboard and drop in a GTX later. I have a 6800GT that's still pretty competent :)Shinei - Wednesday, July 13, 2005 - link
The only thing I care about is PRICE. If these suckers roll out for $80-$100 cheaper than the nForce4 SLI boards, guess where my money's going... And I'm taking my 6800GT with me! :)
