Looks like I bought one of the last one's from EXcaliburPC as it went out of stock shortly after placing my order. Site says will have more Monday. It was $30 cheaper than ZipZoom by the way.

eBug germany:today more 20 boards available(220€)

[dutchman.pt]

Seems to be a very good board, even better than the P5W-DH but that is a thing that we only have shure after they hit the market and proof some results.

The new performance 1404 bios from Asus today shows there is still life in the P5W-DH.

As for the layout it is so lame that I can bet that their engineers were trying to stick cubes into the round holes when they were little kids.

Okay, having read this thread, reading it again backwards & twice sideaways on, everyone take a step back & breathe for a moment........

Fist off, these Engineers like "coolaler" are giving you previews of up & coming Hardware. Most times, they still have some bugs which are fixed on final release & maybe even patched with Bios Updates after release to the general Public.

Stop b!itching about the Number of PCI Slots. Direct the b!tch at whoever is responsible for the pi$$ poor introduction of PCI-E Architecture that now seems to be fudged around into different configurations, at every and any opportunity with a different Chipset. Industry standards suck & have been sucking for 18 months or so now. There are very very few Add-in cards that use the New PCI-E architecture. Infact, the only ones I recall seeing are Hard Drive controllers. (aside from Graphics Cards)
If you want MORE PCI Slots on your next Conroe board, then Consider the upcomimg DFI RD600 Based board. This is scheduled to have 3 x PCI Slots, True Asyncronous FSB adjustment, Super Cool Smaller Die NB. DEfinately a must for 24/7 Oc'ers.

These newer 975 boards are going further than the earlier models. We already know Abit tried a 975 board that was as pants as the rest of them, leaving the Intel Bad Axe 975 the best OC'er of them all.
The day a Chipset manufacturer makes the Best OC-ing board there is, tells me they didn't tell the other Board manufacturers everything they should have! I suppose this statement is my opinion, so please don't try flaming me for being open hearted & honest.
Anyways, always remember these forums are not a "Right", they are here for us all to read & enjoy, as well have some sort of constructive input as a registered user. The Engineers Reports are as accurate as possible at the time of testing & will respond to users appropiately. Read widely & compare & then decide for yourselves!
Just Remember "Respect" ........& forget "Expect". He who Expects ...gets nothing!

Nice Review coolaler, keep em coming bud!

*EDIT* I won't be buying this board, but coolaler, how about some Good Old Fasioned SiSoft Memory Bandwidth Results & get that Ram speed up to 1200? ...Talk to OCZ!

[Pjoeloe]

2 minutes wasted reading your reply, thanks

Your are absolutely correct....

The high end OCZ (they are not the only ones) modules do not work right on this board yet, Abit still has a lot of bios tuning to complete.

They felt Abit's AW9D-MAX pressure.
Let's see how ABIT handles their promising board.

[sierra_bound]

Board looks promising. But I doubt Asus is feeling any pressure. They ship more boards than Gigabyte, ECS and MSI (all Tier-1 companies) combined.

[THE JEW (RaVeN)]

There are very very few Add-in cards that use the New PCI-E architecture. Infact, the only ones I recall seeing are Hard Drive controllers. (aside from Graphics Cards)

-SATA controller cards
-home theatre cards (ie. ati 550)
-LAN cards
-fibre cards
-usb cards
-firewire cards
-serial cards (not even joking)

Thanks for the Heads-up.

but foxconn is dead on their tail, and will catch up pretty soon. there is no underestimating the consumer. (i know, i know - oem)
