    if the chip on the P5K deluxe supposedly supports 8 x 8 why can't they upgrade the bios on the P5K deluxe to support 8 x 8 ?

    It requires physical changes in the electronics. Just like how on a lot of the p965 boards that supported 16+4, you had a set of jumpers to change around to make the slot into x4 instead of x1.
