well i don`t like that LCD and i will use it just to read the temps(under benching) and media player

If the gadgets were user customizable, then maybe they would be worth something, but that's not really the case.

More interested in your E66 to be honest ^^, a coming board from you-know-who has been tested to do FSB530+ on 1066, so this is not as spectacular if 1333

What week is it? Did I really see 4.27Ghz on air?

Ambient temp if possible please.

Just ordered one of these because my p5w dh is toast. I hope the NB on this one lasts. I'm assuming the same NB and SB temp issues as the P5W. Should I plan to replace the TIM with arctic silver 5?

I guess no screen duo until I'm ready to upgrade to vista.

replace it with AS5 is extremely recommended

Thanks, I figured that was the case.

How's the memory controller and NB on these boards? I burnt out the NB on my P5W and memory is basically hit or miss stability now. That's why I got the P5B.

I like to push my memory but i don't want to fry this board as well.

What are the benefits with this 512mb Ready boost? how does it works?

Vista uses the Ready Boost to load commonly accessed files and programs. Not sure exactly how it works. I've heard that you only really notice the difference if you have 1gb or less RAM.

Readyboost of 512MB is almost useless. You need to go 1-1 on mem to readyboot to notice much of an effect.

My X6800 runs stable at higher FSB than on the P5B dlx for what it is worth.

One issue with the bios is that all the other asus bioses showed minus temps in the hardware monitor. This one shows stuck at 10deg, no matter what the fluctuations in minus temps are. Kind of strange to see just on this borads bios.

ARRG, so many freakin new boards. I'm stuck with either this, or the P5N32-SLI PLUS, or the Commando!
