[18th Anniversary] Asus Black Pearl - P5k-Premium Testing Report

[sesdave]

Interestingly enough my current Premium is rev.2.00g made in China - Must just be a flaky board that's all.

Reading around the net, it looks like several users of the P5K series are having similar boot problems to mine. Wonder what's going on?

Yeah I've heard about some flakiness with the Maximus Formula.... but then it is a new board so That's to be expected. The Striker Extreme was touchy at times until Asus finally got most of the kink's worked out of their BIOS. Funny enough it was one of their earlier BIOSes (1102 I think?) that actually worked really well with my Mushkin ram, too bad it doesn't support the G0 core CPU's.

Anyway, I don't think the Striker will be going back in... its been in and out of my PC a couple of times and makes for a good standby if needed, but I think I'd rather just get another premium or try something else.

Read what you have said and apply it to the premium-lol!. Its not exactly an old MB is it.
But back to more important things - it half time in the rugby world cup and France are leading England 6-5!

update -21:40-GMT - England with the worst playing record as Cup holders since the tournament began have just allowed France to play all the rugby in the second half but beat them 14-9 to go into the final. Wilkinsons boot saves them again. - I am Scottish but it was the French after all - lol!. wish I had put money on the so called no hopers!
