View Full Version : P5W DH Deluxe Motherboard owners>
Hi all, I have a P5W DH Deluxe, on the back I have 2 ethernet ports,
Now has anyone put them both to use at the same time? And what scienero would they both be used for, I came across another thread where some one mentioned that 2 ethernet ports can be used to split upload and download speeds giving you a boost? yeh i know sounds great but how tru do you guys think this is?:confused:
Anyway Im loving this board and just want to get as much as i can out of it, im currently using a netgear WPN 824 and what im thinking about doing is just turning it off and using the onboard wifi on the motherboard,
do anyof you use the onboard wifi?
whats your thoughts on that?
Hows you P5W setup and what do you get out of it,
thanks all :clap:

Where's the "It's not bad, not amazing though" option?
I like it, but I hate the slow boot, and shoddy BIOS even though this is the "premium" board.

I am very pleased with mine...I am using the WiFi and it's working quite well. I am also enjoying very fast boot times. I have finally figured out every option on this mobo so if you need specific help, let me know. Details in sig.

Sure...ICH7R (2) WD160's in Raid0 Stripe64...On the 2 black SATA connectors, (1) WD160 SATA on the red (primary SATA). You must go to BIOS and change drive boot priority to boot from it. I have disabled jMicron and other nonsense, including serial/parallel interrupt assignments, etc. My Rig boots quickly. The mobo is approx 3-4 weeks old, I think it has the newer chipsets. I am running 1503. Boots as quick as my AMD 4400+

I like it better than my p5b deluxe i had, it seems quicker, intel matrix raid is just as fast, I can shut off the jmicron and it still sees my roms lol !
with a 6600 this good I dont need 500fsb anyway.

DAK dude thats a nice config you have going there ;) might be getting some advise later on about bios setup,
what i wanted to ask now was have you tried using both ethernet ports at all?

No problems since day one. Have been running flawless for months--and the boot time is a non-issue too.

Other than the cpu thermal temp reports from AIBooster and Speedfan are off by about 20c .. been a great board.
It is really good board, perfect stability and features. But it is not board for serious overclocking ....we have better choices on market for great OC!
