EVGA is first with Nforce 680i

We saw some Nvidian boards and we wrote about them here Now, EVGA is first with the reference board.

The board has three PCIe graphic slots, two 16X and one 8X for an extra card for dual display, six monitors or an Nvidia graphic card that will take care of physics.

It also has 2x PCIe 1X and two PCI slots. It is obviously ATX and based on Nvidia's Nforce 680i SLI chipset. It supports 4x DDR 2 at 533, 667 or 800MHz, UDMA 133, 2x 10/100/1000 LAN, 10 times USB 2.0, two times Firewire, eight-channel sound and 6x SATA Raid.

The only problem is that you need to pay €289.00 but it is available at least in Austrian retail/etail. Overclockers in the UK sells it for £211.49 including VAT at 17.5 per cent while the newegg has the board in stock for $269.99.

Sorry chaps but this is just way too much for motherboard. µ
