Always got something goodASUS to show Andre, huh ?
Can we have some BIOS shots ?

Thanks a lot m8

[rithina]

really like to see how kentsfield perform on this mobo..

how they divide the bandwidth for each pcie? same as P5W64 pro?

[RealTelstar]

It's impoprtant to note that the P5K WS will NOT have 4 pci-e slots, but 2 pci-e and 2 pci-x.

Hi,

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

[MarlboroMan]

sexy mobo!

[Raja@ASUS]

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

[tam2]

Been waiting for this WS series since p35 boards released
Thanks again

I love this mobo

[Apollonas]

Slow!!!

[overcrash86]

are the 4 PCIe 16x linked 16x ? or 1 16x and others 4x ?

[zbogorgon]

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

[safan80]

I'd also like to know about the pci-express lines in this board.

[rozzyroz]

i love the placement of all of the sata, power connectors and headers. right on the edge like that will help with wire managment

[Makubex_GB]

Damn, that's a sweet mobo.

There'll be better board than this?
I just put up my board for sale too

[strange|ife]

off topic here

but what HD is that?



nice board again, although the stock cooling looks really lacking, but again this is more of a workstation platform, most people in that area wont be overclocking.

really diggin the orange and black. Halloween themes rock on MOBO~S

I guess so, previous asus's WS mobos was with 955X and 975x, which will be replaced by X38

hmmm the dual 32M doesn't seem that fast like the single result you had recently Andre............

it would be nice if you could run a 3.6GHz run as kiwi asked to compare speed

WD360 on google tells me that it is a 10,000 RPM Western Digital Raptor 36GB. Everyone always forgets the google.

[Sheik]

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

+1 request.

[naro]

wonder if Asus will come out with a WS board with PCI-X??
