The cooling design on the TP35D3-A7 Deluxe looks idential to that of the Gigabyte DQ6.

[Richard Dower]

It shouldn't Brent, as i said above the design looks very much like the DQ6 (which i have) and i mounted an Ultra-120 and had plenty of clerance.

I know the X38 will be 2 ×16, but why couldn't this be 2 ×8?
Also, weren't they supposed to be killing off legacy stuff like PS2, Serial and Floppy ports? Who uses a floppy?

I gues I'll have to wait for nvidia for a 2 ×8 board with DDR3...

[XS Janus]

Do you guys think there will be "enthusiast" class mobos supporting ddr2 and ddr3 on the same board (not using both at the same time of course), or would this be a bad choice? /Why?

Thats Intel...they are killing legacy on their OWN boards. Third party boards will continue to use an ITE chip for PS/2 etc.

[Nedjo]

DDR3-1066?!! Pointless! They should have gone with DDR3-1333 right away

The question is: does it perform better at the same clocks and will it do 550+ easy without mods and xtreme cooling

Thats Intel...they are killing legacy on their OWN boards.

And I like Intel for that, being very aggressive on moving forward.

disappointed there's not that many more native SATAII ports 4-6 ain't really that many.. 8x native SATAII ports on chipset would be nice to have

Remove the ps/2, floppy, IDE & onboard sound and I am sold!

If Intel does this on their own board AND uses solid alum caps, then im going to freak with joy! LOL

[Nedjo]

I'm finding it funny that Intel doesn't want to go with two GFX PCI Express slots so that competition doesn't have bigger market for selling their solution!

I think that they've made bad decision, and that this choice will turn many enthusiasts from their solution. They’ve just opened window of opportunity for AMD to return among enthusiasts with they platform!

For all those asking for more, remember that the P35 isn't the highend

And these are just Biostars too

[ziddey]

ps2 for life . that biostar board looks so delicious

haha just biostars it's strange though that every once in a while, biostar comes out with an astounding board. their p965 is pretty better than average. they've got a tforce6100 for amd's that top tier. back in the day, i remember having a nforce2 that was stellar as well. it's almost like there's two departments releasing boards or something

not sure why everyone loves the metal caps, only difference is they are usually SMT and look different

And MUCH longer life.

Though a high end normal cap is just as good imo. a nice nichicon or sanyo...
