I think im gonna already rule out the P5B just because it tops out at 400 fsb :(. THe Abit AB9 looks great too though, and Iv heard good things about it.
do u think 5phase vrm enough for the stability under load???
DFI has proved that 4phase is plenty.
People are too concerned about the number of phases
http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache...ient=firefox-a says DS3 only got up around 360
But that was posted on 7/7 and I thought some new BIOS came out since then. (see first page of this thread)Quote:

(Now that I'm reading more. It appears that it matters if the mobo is a c1 or c2 step.)
with f1 he was limited at 380 fsb :toast: and with f2 bios => 485 :D

Do you think you could run Pi 1M @ 400 x 7 with RAM 1:1 @ 4-4-4-8 ?
I'd like to compare it clock for clock with a P5W DH...that 3.4 GHz Pi time looks slightly low :confused:
only 2 mo l2 on allendale :toast:
kitt has allendale 6300 too :) so its a fair comparison
how bout some 6600's
and i asked a while ago but didnt see an answer did you just get these from newegg or something ?
wow... thats really nice :woot:
i hope the AB9 Pro do the same, i order it because it is the only available 965 mobo in germany :banana:
OMFG:eek:
485mhz on the fsb is crazy :woot:
Gigabyte, we beg you.. let this be the standard for all of the 965P-DS3 mamaboards :rolleyes:

EDIT: NVM, the AB9 non pro is 175 :(. Lets hope prices are cheaper in the US lol.
Are there any reviews on any of these 965 boards?
There might be some Friday when the C2D NDA expires...but I doubt it. We'll probably see the first C2D "official" (even though there have been plenty unofficial reviews already) reviews on 975 chipsets.Quote:

Is there any particular Celeron I should get? Which one is the best bang for the buck?
Get the cheapest you can get.Quote:

Is anyone else getting high fsb with this board besides one user.
where? has it been reviewed?Quote:

I'm tempted to get this board if there were a couple of other people to chime in on their results.
