Nice! Im gonna wait for the DS4 though. Hopefully the price is <160 lol.

**Nanometer** · 07-06-2006, 11:43 PM

Why would you want it to cost more than 160?

**cupholder2.0** · 07-07-2006, 12:34 AM

lmao, my bad I ment less than 160.

**®om1** · 07-07-2006, 02:34 AM

Any idea of the max FSB on with this board ? Hope that is little bit more than 400...

I'm thinking of that Gigabyte board or this one right here ^^^^^^^^.

How do Intel made mobos overclock?

I have to admit I like the features on that one. That might be my best choice at the moment considering the intel factory 965P mobo is only $20 less.

Doubtful. The DS3's big brother the DQ6 with its "xtreme" bios Only managed 288 at HardwareZone even with all its choice voltage options. Barring a miraculous bios update I'm guessing Gigabyte will be another also ran in the stampede of mobos coming to market for the Conroe crowd.

DS4 is a near copy of the high-end DQ6.
Audio, and a weaker power system are the only difference, I think.

I was hoping the DS4 would be ~$150.... damn it.

THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!

I was worried the P965s would cost like $200. I hope P5B Deluxe is like this price.
Maybe I should buy one. I imagine the price will shoot up... It's blue and orange though.

have you seen many Asus board with Wifi for $150 ?

**jbizzler** · 07-07-2006, 07:17 AM

Well the M2N32-SLI Deluxe is $210, and that has dual x16. I know the P5B Deluxe won't be $150, but at most like $180. The M2N32 is a deluxe flagship chipset. The P5B Deluxe is a deluxe mainstream vhipset. if it's above $200, it's only becasue of Conroe. I shoudl of said, "I hope this price is an indication of the P5B Deluxe". I bet the P5B vanilla will be though. I'm just happy it's not $250 like the 975Xs.

**tys90** · 07-07-2006, 07:23 AM

Hmm...why do I feel like the chances this board sucks are high?

On a positive note:

Did you read the performance update? They got to 360 FSB with a newer beta bios. Still not the magical 400, but a bit better.

**politenessman** · 07-07-2006, 08:28 AM

well once i heard that someone had a gigabyte board that actually worked, but i think it was only a legend.

very truly yours,

**jbizzler** · 07-07-2006, 08:37 AM

Wow, I was about to buy it. I guess Gigabyte sux...

**WesM63** · 07-07-2006, 09:47 AM

LOL.. i've used quite a few gigabyte first release boards and they are not bad. They're not a DFI SLI-DR or equvilant, but they'll get that conroe system up and running before everyone elses.

I already purchased my P5W DH, otherwise I would of taken a chance on this one.

here for xtreme user,975 still be ur choice

**tys90** · 07-07-2006, 10:29 AM

I need a board that will hit 400 easily...except I don't want to pay $250 for it. Especially when I'm going to be using only 1 video card. I can dream can't I?

**cupholder2.0** · 07-07-2006, 10:32 AM

holy crap!!! look at the price of that DQ6 omfg!

**[TAG]Imp** · 07-07-2006, 10:35 AM

dude, hittin 360 on a $150 dollar board isn't bad in my book....
besides, new BIOSes should let it hit 400...

there has already been a bios update for that board that took it to 360... but it s a far far far shot from 400+
they have alot of work to do to get it to compete with the other 2 currently available, hell even the DFI does better.
