4 pci x16 slots?
i thought it was 2 x16's and 2 pci-x(aka useless lol) slots
those are definately not pci-x slots and the 64 in the p5w64 stands for the total speed of the pci-e slots (4 x 16 = 64)
WOOOHAAA this is the board I have been waiting for!!! 4x16 slots now where can I get more info, specs, est time to retail etc etc etc!!!!!
Will this mb support up to kentsfield ?
anyway can anyone enlighten me why one need 4 pci-x :(
what is the purpose of having those 4 slots?Quote:

BTW: any news about the release date? Still no hints from Asus...

There will be more interest in this board than the p5wdg2-ws pro as pci-e slots are more usable than pcix in general terms. Now it's just when asus decides to release it to our side of the pond.
there's only so many pcie lanes they can use remember. There's none spare for 2 pcie lan.Quote:

Does anybody know when this board will be released in the UK,
Nope, Insight will have the P5WG2-WS Pro for £193 on the 22nd Aug (1 board!!!). Haven't heard anything about this though - can't wait either :D.
Novatech have 3 (non pro?) in stock now @ £182Quote:

Witghout double checking, I'm pretty sure that on my P5wdg2-ws professional it is both pci lan, so it should be the same on the 64 I would think.Quote:

The pics of the P5W64 show one Marvell 88E8052 (PCIe) and one 88E8001 (PCI as far as I know).Quote:

The Chip Nos are:
Marvell 88SE8052 + 88E8001

What are the PCI-E slots electrically?
I would imagine something along the lines of:
Slot 1: 16x/8x
Slot 2: 4x/8x
Slot 3: 1x/4x
Slot 4: 1x/1x
WHich in this case the layouy would not be too go for SLI/CF. I am just wildly guessing - or did they managed to implement more PCI-E lanes on the Southbrigde?
They're supposed to be 16x/8x , 8x , 8x , 4xQuote:

Isn't it P5W64 as in 64 lanes, hence:
16x
16x
16x
16x
or, with lanes spread elsewhere
16x
8x
8x
16x
With the remaining 16 lanes used elsewhere?
1 thing for sure is 64 lanes.
Have I got the wrong end of the stick entirely? :confused:
