Well this all but confirms that X38 DOES indeed support DDR2. With this news, I will probably wait for the X38 over the P35 as long as the X38 doesn't get released way too far down the line.
Dual x16 PCIE2.0's... talk about not only future-proofing but also possibly sli support with hacked drivers... (or maybe intel and nvidia work together closer now)
DFI launching a good X38 board near x38s initial launch?!! WOW, not 6 months late this time around Hopefully it will be a better board than their x975.
yeah, i think ill wait for the X38 aswell.
i really hope for their sake they are not late to the market again
Presenting a pre-production sample doesn't mean that the public will be able to buy it at X38 launch
On-topic now...digital PWM...fire in the hole anybody ?

From what I can see on the board there is 8 fan connectors.
3 of which are 4 pin.
2 of which are next too two of the x16 PCI-E slots.
So graphics card fan control through the BIOS maybe?
8 SATA ports - yellow im guessing are e-SATA
Im guessing that big gap at the back where the USB ports are and stuff will be for that bloody Karajan audio thing.
They're not the same type.
And it could be 'dangerous' for 'hardware amateurs'.
Now, if you'd like to control your graphics cards' fan, just change the plug on your own
Internal Connectors being e-SATA ? Erm...I don't think so.
If they were e-SATA you'd find them in the rear side of the mobo on the I/O Panel

Yeah I saw the 8 sata as a good thing.
That's a Realtek audio chip though, right? Not that I care much about onboard audio since I never use it, but I'd have preferred ADI to Realtek. No worries really just a minor point.
Given the very low vdroop on the Asus P35 board (and that might even get better on a high end X38), I'm seeing a race on as to whether the digital pwm is better than the Asus design. Hopefully as normal, competition benefits the end users
Variable fan control for gpu's would be nice, but quite often to get good oc's fan controls have to be disabled in the bios, so not sure if I'd actually "use" that or not, even though I do have fans aimed at the gpu.
Looks like very good news, imo, because I don't think DDR3 is fully cooked enough and I have been hoping the X38 would use DDR2 for a while yet.
thank you for this news!
the mobo is great

Has allot of PCI classic slots..two of which are still free even with crossfire, which is sadly a very very good thing to this day.
i like the no parrallel and serial.... but the ram slots arnt far enough across
an IHS on the NB, that's a nice touch, and such a big gap in the back? I can't see the plug for the audio module, maybe they'll put sth else there?

no ICH10R???
-tam2-
e-SATA are for external hard disc, they are also not "L" shaped inside but "l" shaped inside. So having e-SATA inside is rather useless. What were you thinking?
It's probably 2 SATA ports that are controlled by another chip individual of the other one. To sort out the problem that not all SATA optical drives can be used when the south bridge RAID option is enabled. Like their ICFX3200 mobo.
Looks very tasty. I wonder if that void at the rear I/O area will be filled by some heatpipe/heatsink monstrosity? Bring on Computex
i think i see two little (white in the picture) holes in the gap. maybe some pins for cooling units go there.
