I see.. Wonder if it has any hardware enhancements for Kentsfield, etc. Intel XBX1 and XBX2 had some changes in traces, wonder if it's the same for the 1.03G vs. 1.04G on the P5W.

IIRC the newer 975X chipsets are more rectangular in shape (only seen where the factory/year/week code is 36**), whereas the older ones are square (I've seen L5**). If I'm not wrong the rectangular ones can clock better with lower vMCH? The 975XBX2 should be using the rectangular ones. Could anyone confirm this?


XBX1's chipset vs. the XBX2's chipset
