Welp, I bit the bullit and registered with t-break so's I could give you bros the goods. Here is the samdra mem breakdown:
875 "Canterwood" dual 400 - "4975"
875 "Canterwood" dual 333 - "3376"
655 "SIS" dual 400 - "3432"
845 "PE" single 200 - "2999"
WOW! running at its stock setting of dual 400 gives a whopping 4975. Dang! Just think what we'll get when we oc this bad boy?
Sign me up for some Canterwood action!!!

I'm not sure what the big improvement is supposed to be. Although they didn't compare it to the obvious competion, Granite Bay, I don't see what it is doing that GB won't. I've seen numbers like that from high FSB GB rigs, then only drawback being stability being a bit of a problem at 200fsb. But as the reviewer noted stability was an issue at 200fsb on the Canterwood, it sounds eerily familiar...

In all fairness though, he didnt have an 800mhz chip...so what really isnt stable (hey...i'm not claiming to knwo it all but still)

There is supposed to be a special mem "turbo" mode via bios and the southbridge is supposed to be the first new intel ICH5 which will give "true" SATA speeds of 150mb per sec. The SATA we have in the recent boards are nothing more than ATA 100 or 133 that have a SATA plug in. So...you may have a real SATA drive but it is being choked by the 100-133 ATA southbridge (ICH4) and you are in reality only getting info transfer speeds of about 80-90 mbs per sec. The 100-133 ATA is only a paper figure. Yeah, I know sucks...kinda like buying a 21" monitor and only getting 19.4" visible.

Intel did beef up the bus to the southbridge, there just isn't any evidence this pays off in any significant way. The VIA and SiS chipsets have had this improvement for some time now, but exhibit no performance benefit as a result.
SATA doesn't make a difference at present. And only the sorry PCI implementations of VIA and SiS are limiting you to 80-90 MB/s. Intel chipsets pass 107-110MB/s in practice, so the UDMA 100 transfer rate is very close to realized. As the best IDE drives burst just over 80MB/s at present, this is plenty.
There will be a day when drives are fast enough for SATA to be a real benefit. We will all be a few mb's down the road by then, so I can't get too concerned about it at present. Besides, there is no logic in spending 250 bucks for a motherboard in the hopes that it will last forever. Buy the best 125 dollar motherboard now, and another when it is mandated and shows marked improvement.

Yep, its gonna be a pricey board but it will be a better performer if only by a slim margine over the GB setup but.....I am an overclocker and....I like to upgrade so.....I MUST HAVE IT! heh! Thats pretty much the only justification I need to get it. (mmmm, I wonder what I can tell the ol' lady this time?)

I also have 2 TH7II's and am watching another one on ebay. i think i'll wait and get a canterwood instead also even though i don't want DDR.
Seems to me we should see 10%+ increase in performance over 533fsb chips compared to 800fsb chips while coupled with a Canterwood MB with DDR400.
