Hi,

How fast is single instance of 32M @ 3.6Ghz and ram > 600? 3.6 is a sweet spot to compare

DDR3 1333 CL 6-7-6-20 is faster than DDR2 1200 5-5-5-15 and DDR3 1333 CL6 1.5V is easier than DDR2 1200 CL5.

[AndreYang]

can you please tell about PCIE lanes, does CF work with 8x/8x?

P35 is 16X+4X, so this mobo is 16X+4X+4X+4X.

[AndreYang]

so it does 500 fsb in the box? out the box? or in the lab?

This mobo is es, but I think P35 FSB 500 is so easy.

P5K WS will be PCI-X

any idea when it'll be out??

[erwinz]

thanks AndreYang

the voltage option is good.. and some added features like voltage dampner..

only issue i have with Anus boards is vdimm/vcore options......just bump it a bit more common

Should wait P5K64 WS but DDR2

Thanks

I'm waiting for P5K WS, but no news everywhere.

Looks nice. I would be tempted if it had 8 SATA ports, but with 6 it is just another 6 SATA port board for me

That's what the PCI-X slots are for.

I think it would be better to wait for the P5K64 WS "Professional" Edition.

That's dissappointing I need a second 8X slot for my areca controller. Any idea when the P5K WS will be released? I have one system running on a P5WDG2 Pro and the other on a P5W64 Pro, both using areca. My cpus ran much better on a P5B so I'm looking to move into this new chipset.

Is there any chance of using ddr2 on this mobo?

I need this mobo with ddr2 support!

i doubt so.. the DDR2 version is the P5K WS.

but for X38, i think there's the P5E3 board which supports DDR2

Areca runs in x4 electrical, the slot needs to be x8 physical at least (or x16 which it is here). Bandwidth wise you won't benefit from x8 electrical, since the card can't do over 1GB/s anyway.
