Does that mean worldwide?

@AndreYang,

Could you please check if it is the same onboard NIC controller as on P5WDG2-WS board?
I can´t get the onboard NIC to work. Windows won´t find it. No NIC in Device Manager either.

Asus P5WDG2 WS Professional

$370...

For those asking for VRM zone for older version's mod to support conroe:

There is no older version of this mobo, this is not a new revision of the P5WDG2-WS, it's another whole mobo. As for the P5WD2-E to support conroe, The Stilt already modded one, he just needs a good bios, he asked asus for one good bios, they didnt give him one, afaik.

Regards!

Pricey little sucker. $380 now :rolleyes: (backordered)

The Asus P5WDG2 WS was very pricey. What did you expect for the pro version ? :p:

Nice results Andre, good to see another XS from MI. I'm in Ann Arbor. ;)

Let's see if this board justifies its price... ;)

amen on that "joebar!";)

I will post New Version WS next week. It has """"4 X PCI-E"""""".

I don't see this board on Asus's site?

4 X PCI-E?? hmmm
i hope they added some pci-e x1/x4 slots
and didn't remove those pci-x....

imho
that was the only thing seperating this board from the rest...

plz don't keep us waiting...


edit:
i guess it's gonna look something like the AM2 cousin?
so basically we have two extra pci-e's
and one pci 32-33 slot less...
(Damn those Creative dudes...when do the plan on releasing a pci-e Xfi...)

Never... :p:

Mobo is online: :banana:
http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?m...3&l2=82&l3=249

These premium top end boards are soo tightly packed!
e-atx eventually?

I wonder if we will see an onboard quad sas/sata controller with cache.
Would go very well with conroe/kentsfield and multi gpu's.

Thats what I'm aiming for too, a balance of performance/workstation. Areca 1210 is where is at! I dont really care for SLI anyway or quad, the 7950 is plenty of power for now. I'm hoping motherboard manufactures will start putting in 3 PCI-E soon like the Gigabyte GA-M59SLI.

Just saw that P5W64 WS Pro posted. Thats what I'm talking about!
