While Asus made its old p35 boards officially compatible with FSB 1600 by a bios update, Abit is just introduced us the IP35 PRO XE, they even are in BIOS 14 after 8 months for IP35 PRO! Someone clearify me please or I dont go with abit anymore![]()

Hello everyone! I just ordered a Q9450 and since I have been eyeing this board since release, I have decided to choose it for my new build. Has anyone purchased one of these recently? I am hoping I won't have to find a non 45-nm processor to get it to boot...anyone know how things are on that front?
It would be interesting to hear what are the actual differences between the "IP35 Pro" and the "IP35 PRO XE".
Would be great if someone who has the XE version could post here and tell about his experiences with that board... how is the bios compared to the ip35 pro bios etc..
In the wake of the threads about flashing maximus formulas and the dfi LT X38-t2r to their x48 versions, the most important question would of course imo be whether you could flash the ip35 pro with the ip35 pro XE bios (if it happens to be much better than the current bios for the ip35 pro).![]()
