Intel New Chipset Bearlake P35 DDR2 ASUS P5K Deluxe FSB 550 and DDR2 1200 Test

[bingo13]

550 FSB w/Auto nb volts trumps any board out right now, including the DFI P965-S.

But that auto setting is taking the NB to 1.7V or higher depending upon the clock and strap speeds. It seems as if these first looks are always impressive until you take away the controlled environment and engineering parts. Also, the 1333 CPUs use a different table when setting the straps and latencies so the question is, what are the results with the 1066 or 800 C2Ds going to be upon release. I wish I could give you the answer but ASUS is not all that happy right now about anymore results being posted.
