ASUS New 975x Motherboard P5WDG2-WS Pro Support Conroe Kentsfield

[Lestat]

and of course,,, the infamous life long never ending Vcore Droop ?

how bad is it andre and dont fib... whats the droop like

and the PCI-X slots i think its time they did away with those
regardless if its a "workstation" mobo i have never in my life seen any workstation use PCI-X and i havent seen a PCI-X device for a good 7 years.

no work station or company with workstations in their right mind would go and buy this board, and use some ancient pci-x card in it.
i mena seriously what ever uses pci-x ? SCSI cards ? ok fine. what else ??
and why two ?
1 PCI-X slot at the bottom of the baord is all thats needed.
and 1 PCI-E slot.

and did anyone else notice that this has 1.8v on the NB Chipset ? !

meh many people still use the good old trusty U320 SCSI PCI-X raid controllers.....normally two per system

some of the systems i've built in the past had to have PCI-X slots for super expensive video editing hardware cards..........this is a big market...and about time someone put some PCI-X slots in there

[PcCI2iminal]

Bios FSB 433 start boot.

[theteamaqua]

ES5 chips are awesome, i hope retail dont fall too far behind interms of OCing.

Kentsfield ready

thanks for sharing

[AndreYang]

Some 975 or 965 mobos cannot use FSB 400 4:5 DDR2 1000 CL=4

But WS Pro has no this problem.


512MB X2

[theteamaqua]

nice

[Supertim0r]

ah !
I also can't boot 4:5 or instable with my P5W DH

[nop]

nice Andre. Still Vcore Droop ?

[SlackerXL]

...Mr.Yang you just made my day ....
it's nice to wake up and read that kinda news about the motherboard you've been waiting for so long...
(still use the non-pro version of WS and i really hate to switch mobos
as i'd REALLY like to keep my PCI-X LSI sata300x8 RAID 5)

the only thing that remains unclear is the release date...

but bios set fsb>400
and 1.8v MCH
sure looks promising...

(if it's not too much to ask...
do you have a pci-x card so that you can check out if works ok at those frequencies?)

thanks again for th good news

I think I have found my board for Conroe now, just need to find pricing and release date info.

[The Asgard]

Yes thanks for the preview and I think this will be my prefered board.

Kesnel if you find a supplier in the UK drop me a mail. OcUK or here m8

[Pandamonia]

if they put a PCI-E Slot on this Mobo i would have bought it. imagine how fast it would be!

no good for games until it gets PCI E

i would use them scsi HD's in raid 0 with a conroe and a GX2

[ic3m4n2005]

There are already 2 pci-e slots on the mobo
