    Well let the bios mature and let's judge then again
    Question : Why do some overclockers switch into d*ckmode when money is involved

    Remark : They call me Pro Asus Saaya yupp, I agree

    Have you tried booting with low FSB and change performance level before clocking higher in windows? Its set rather tight at auto and 4/5.

    Send your report to Fiery - he's a nice guy, I'm sure he'll release an update ASAP.

    All dividers are working fine? Nice if true

    Both Asus and the Gigabyte are up on Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...on=x38&x=0&y=0

    They are not cheap here either - looks like Newegg is playing its usual release-time gauging-game again...

    OTOH Mwave has the Asus P5E for a very nice price of $235: http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec....iteria=BA24329
    Kudos, it's a very decent price compared to others.

    $300.00 was a cheep for us...

    check this link:
    http://en.toppreise.ch/index.php?a=1...c35ed1d6211480

    The bottom listing:
    Asus 90-MBB7M0-G0EAY00Z MAXIMUS FORMULA SE S775 X38 AT $449.21 $466.21 (Snicker ... snicker)

    Newegg's price will probably start to climb as more people view the board.

    Did you see where Asus was giving a 3 year warrenty on the Maximus, and we don't even need a recept.

    Good deal, and good protection.

    Locked and loaded ..... Nice rig man!!

    What is the best memory to order for the Max. I would like 4GB options, but only taking 2 memory slots. Money is not an issue, just OC'ing ability.

    I would like to keep 2 slots open in case I decide to take the board to 8GB some day.

    We need the 1066 not the 800 correct...

    Now that I know what mobo I ended up with, it is the correct time to select my memory. (newbie)

    but afaik iirc the maximus has never had a bios update, whereas X38-dq6 has had had quite a few. it could probably beat the P35-boards with a few updates.
