Abit is to release their Nforce 680i-based motherboard IN9-32X Max, which I hope is alot better than the Evga-board I've used the last weeks. It features digital PWM and is said to be ready for over 600mhz FSB!
DFI is releasing their RD600-based board LANParty UT ICFX3200-T2R/G which also feautres digital PWM, and looks like their successful Nforce 4-boards but this time with an orange-color scheme instead of yellow.
The main thing I'm concerned about is the performance with Kentsfield, as the Evga-board is having troubles over 300mhz FSB and only being able to utilize a maximum multiplier of 15x. Right now I hear no multipliers over stock are avaliable on the IN9 but that will hopefully change with new bios revisions. Crotale has posted some previews of the board over at Xtremesystems (check link at the end of this text).
Over at OCX coolaler has posted some pics, info and testing of the DFI-board. So far he has been able to run 545mhz FSB with an E6600, which is really impressing but if what is said about the Abit is true, it's not so impressive any more :)
