well, #1, I have a life away from the computer, so I am not one to sit right here and wait for answers/emails to come back. I do have a job in the real world besides this, and a family.
#2 its a rumor, from inside DFI, and rumors have caused wars or worse before, so waiting on edge to hear the snippets of a rumor isn't a good idea either.
I have no more information about the LP I875-2. I still do not know when it will be released. Im not allowed to know this as if I told you, you (and everyone else) would probably cancel their order the the I875, and thats not what DFI wants. The only word that I have is that it will be a couple months at the most.
The I875 is not a mistake order. I have easily jumped my 2.4c up to 3.075Ghz without ANY effort at all. The 2.7vdimm limitation isn't affecting me, as the RAM i am using is good stuff that doesn't need a high voltage input to achieve high clocks.
I seriously doubt you will be disappointed with teh LP 875. I've had zero problems with it, and even with a 100FSB P4 in it, it clocked up to 2.652Ghz the first time we put a P4 into it and cranked it as high as it would go.
The only thing you might want to consider is a good after-market hsf for the p4, as the stock is good, but when you start cranking up the speed, it cannot keep up as well as a good Zalmann or Alpha or such =)
