Uhm, yeah.

 

[Lurker1]

It's certainly a better price for the mobo, but with my X2 running @ 2400, it's no longer my bottleneck.

 

[melchoir55]

Is this better than the p5b deluxe for overclocking an e6300?

 

[CupCak3]

oh man, this thread brought out some "great" questions.


damn, i'd probably just on this but zzf website seems to be down for me atm I have a 6300 just waiting to be oced

That's a good question oslama. From the Asus website:

LGA775 Socket Intel® Quad-Core/CoreTM Extreme/Pentium D /Pentium 4/Celeron CPU processors
Compatible with Intel® 06/05A/05B processors
Intel® EIST/EM64T/Hyper-Threading Technology/C1E/ TM1/TM2

Isn't that a little strange?

 

[oslama]

i did not see core 2 duo listed on asus spec sheet.

 

[khurios2000]

does SLI X8 +X8 makes a diff compare to x16 +x16?
if no then this board roxx

 

[imported_KING]

nice, got one. glad i saw this thread before i ordered, was going with a p5b deluxe but naa switched it to this beast.

edit: snap, i really hope this supports C2D LOL!

 

[tallman45]

Odd looking PCI layout. That SLI slot really costs on expansion capability, not so sure even a sound card will fit in that if a second vid card was used. Better wait for some sites to perform review.

Well, CoreTM Extreme is a Core 2 duo proc. Since it would be insane if this mb didn't also support other Core 2 duo's, I'm guessing it does. But since this is Intel socket 775, who can really be sure?

 

[bigsnyder]

The 650i is the little brother to the newly released 680i chipset. Of course it supports
core2.

650i better than P965?

I'd love to know this too. I really want to replace my 965 board, but I don't want to pay more than $200 to do it.

yea much better the p5b is a weak link for ocing,

Keep in mind that Asus lists 412MHz as the max FSB of this board. That may change a lot of people's minds about ordering it, especially those with E6300 or E6400's.

Edit: The 412MHz limitation that was first reported has since been proven wrong.
