1st page - "The bargain-priced A8R32-MVP" should be "The bargain-priced A8R-MVP"

Another one on page 2 - "competitive UDB performance" should be "competitive USB performance"

Also on page 1: "The value is even greater when you consider than the ATI Crossfire X1900XT and Crossfire X1900XT are the fastest video solutions currently on the market and they are fully supported by the A8R32-MVP."

"...when you consider THAT the...", and you've listed the same card twice, "...Crossfire X1900XT and Crossfire X1900XT..." Maybe throw another "X" in there somewhere. :-)

Items corrected. Thank you. Wes was up late to get this article posted since my next motherboard review was delayed due to additional testing with a new bios. I deserve the flogging. :)

It's hardly bargain priced at $200+ (according to froogle).

Now if they would get rid of the stupid Master Card requirement for high end Crossfire setups, I'd buy one.

It was up for a day or so then nothing. I'm guessing it will reappear on launch date.

Now there isn't even a page on this review for the Asus A8R32-MVP. What's the deal? NDA?

The article has been updated. Sorry about Page 1 missing for a moments.

After the long list of mobo problems with the RD480 chipset mobos, which appear to be mobo design issues, not RD480 chipset issues, I wouldn't touch an RD580 chipset mobo with a ten foot pole.

AFAIK Asus, Sapphire and other mobo makers have provided no solutions to the long list of problems on their mobos. It's as if the mobo makers have no clue or no interest in their customers? You can go to any mobo maker's website and any hardware review site and find documented problems on these mobos that are inexcusable yet there have been no fixes provided by any of the mobo makers. If a mobo maker can't produce a mobo with a stable Vcore voltage, standard BIOS Vcore voltage options, run standard industry certified PC3200 memory, etc. then they're in the wrong business.

You can be certain if they couldn't fix the problems on the RD480 mobos, they haven't fixed the problems on the RD580 mobos being rushed to market just before the AM2 socket mobos will be released. My guess is if the mobo companies keep dumping crap in to the marketplace, they are gonna kill the market as anyone with a clue isn't gonna buy one defective mobo after another and then have to trash it because it can't even function properly at the default settings of all current AMD mobos. Since PC professionals and hardware review sites have confirmed these problems, it ain't user installation issues, but in reality, mobo design issues. That's why a BIOS upgrade can't fix the problems on the RD480 / RD580 based mobos.
