[commy]

just got a message from
a big german retailer

available mid august (WS Pro ) so I hope next week

thanks andre for your review

dual pi 32M 15m47 sec @3,3 mmmhhh ..unbeaten a.t.m.

I buyed it already in Austria...

someone has the ICH7 Raid drivers for XP 64-bit for that board?

I have the P5WDG2-WS board and I use Intel 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller for my RAID 0 with XP x64.

Do you have a address where you bought the PRO version?

Hi to all

I have two question about this motherboard:

1- what happen if I put a normal PCI card in a PCI-X slot? Can I force the other PCI-X slot to go with the full bandwidth?

2- Is possible put a Pcie x1 card in the second Pcie x16 slot? If yes the first Pcie x16 slot will drop to x8?

Thanks

Ugo

1. PCI-X Support normal PCI slot.

2. If you use 2X PCIE, it would be 8X+8X.

Adding to what AndreYang said, with most boards if you put a normal 32bit 33mhz PCI card in any PCI-X slot it will put all the slots to that same speed/mode. There were some server boards that had a single PCI-X slot on a seperate controller so you could do what it sounds like you are asking for. But in a board like this I'm sure all the PCI-X slots are on the same controller.

Why impossible?

Japanese has some secrets which are running PI quickly.

did you run those 32M superPI windows at the same time or one at a time

here is a single 32M on my system................i just don't see how you could shave off another 2+ minutes off dual time hmm

When will these boards ship in the USA?

Mine came in the mail today!

When my E6600 comes in I will add my results to this thread

natalia, flash to this bios when you get up and running, http://edu.tchsien.com/CBB/coolaler/...S-PRO-0004.rar and then in chpiset options in the bios, set "read delay" to 7 for best results. good luck!

where did you get that BIOS?

Andre Yang uploaded them for us!

notice the "coolaler" in the link. hehe

nice
what kind of OC do you have on that E6700?

Very simple. Look at the difference in FSB. Higher FSB on the same board will be faster than a lower FSB at the same cpu clock rate. His 32m is only a couple seconds slower than mine with my E6400 @ 3.6ghz with 450mhz FSB. His 1m beat mine by a little less than half a second.

[sierra_bound]

It's not really FSB that makes the difference in SuperPi, but rather memory speed. Andre was running at DDR2-946 versus dino's DDR2-834.

so according to you going from DDR2-834 to DDR2-946 will gain me another 2 minutes.............heheheh

[sierra_bound]

No, that's not what I said. When all other things are equal, the system with higher memory speed will come out on top. Or maybe Andre is a better tweaker.

Sometimes raw power is more important. This is what I got after half a day with the P5WDG2 WS Pro. Air cooling.

[sierra_bound]

One other thing I forgot to mention. A 975X will crush a 965 board in 32M. I found that out with the P5B Dlx. Great for high FSB. But terrible for Pi, unless you get extreme clocks.

nice overclock there

yeah i am just trying to understand what it is that he's using cause damn those times are incredible

it would be nice to get you to compare Asus P965 and 975X chipsets in SPI performance all else equal

PLEASE DO a comparison between the WS Pro and P5B Dlx

SPI/3D :thumbsup:

[sierra_bound]

Well, what I can tell you is my P5WDG2 WS Pro is better for 32M than my P5B Deluxe. But if high FSB is your thing, then stick with 965. I did run 32M with my 6600ES at 4400MHz (dry ice cooling) on the P5B and I was so shocked by the result that I didn't even bother to save it. My P5WDG2 WS Pro would have beaten the time with 400 less MHz.

I will try to run a comparison test in the near future.

yeah no worries

would be interesting to know how much of a difference there really is

What is your mobo? 975x or 965?

965 is slower than 975x on the same speed, fsb and momery speed , especially gigabyte 965 is so slow.

[dinos22]

gigabyte DS3

i will be testing Asus P5B Deluxe

it seems that this 965 motherboard is even faster than 975X boards or same as them
