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

[turtletrax]

Ok guys what should i get vista 32 or 64??
And can i use duel boot and still keep my xp set up on raid 0 while setting up vista on another raid 0 config ???

I run X64 and I am impressed with the driver support.

With the amount of RAM available and some programs and games that can use it, I would not shell out for 32 bit.

Hi all

I summarize my story ^^
I have buy a first P5K Premium it there have 2 month ago approximately
I had moree Pb with this first :
Large vdroop even with the pencil MOD, not very powerful in the OC with my Dual core and pentium4 and at the end of first week it be die
A potentiometer have burn with starting

She was guaranteed, Asus sent to me a new (after 2 months...), which I received today
They returned me all my bundle of origin, same the box.
Only the MOBO is new
I have the impression seen more details on the MOBO, that it has used or tested in the laboratories of Asus ^^

Since 4H of tests under AC (to start), it is another MOBO which my first
No vdroop for begging
For example, my powerful E2140 made in Max bench on AC (aircooling) of 3603Mhz under a P5KC Green with 1.44v of vcore (1.50v idle, tks vdroop in P5KC ^^), stock +125%!
