My thoughts are that the board manufacturers are taking time to add a few more features to the bioses.
Yes, that'd work just fine. Shop around for a C1 2.4B, you should be able to hit 3.0-3.2GHz no problem. That'd give you......Originally posted by: Aldaris2002
I'm a little confused. I planned to build this system, but i don't know if it will work now...
Intel Pentium 4 2.4ghz
2x 256 PC2700 DDR Modules
ASUS P4G8X Motherboard
Will the motherboard still run at dual channel DDR with the PC2700 modules?
Can I overclock to 3Ghz or is that too high?

- FSB of 167-178MHz
- Dual-channel DDR333-356
- Memory/FSB bandwidth of 5.34-5.67GB/s (Sandra mem bench 4060-4300MB/s)
But you could get lucky with the CPU and hit higher.

Well, the AnandTech motherboard reviewer Evan said....Originally posted by: Fant
Wow $190 US for a granite bay board....they weren't kidding when they said these chipsets will be more expensive....but considering the features it's probably still worth it...
Also, he said the Asus P4G8X was expected to be $190 but the Gigabyte GA-8INXP would be around $15 cheaper ($175). Plus, MSI are supposed to be releasing a cheapo Granite Bay board - the E7205 Master-L(MS-9126), to go alongside their feature-rich GNB Max(MS-6565). I don't know how much that 'budget' MSI GB board will be but I'm guessing $150-160 perhaps? It'd have to be that cheap to get anyone to buy it.the price will initially be steep ($190), this is to be expected with a dual channel chipset, especially one from Intel. Prices will fall though, and we expect motherboards like the P4G8X to get as low as $140 in the next couple of months.

Sorry, I've got Futurama on the brain. Anyhoo, my main trade-only supplier (Ingram Micro UK) has put the Asus P4G8X Deluxe into it's listings at long last!! This is the very first sign of the P4G8X being available in the UK..........
SKU # B99Z430
ASUSTEK / 90-M8L841-E0UAY
P4G8X/DEL/GD SKT478 IE7205 ATX SND LAN 1394 FSB533 SATA10
Price: £124.05
ETA: 18th December
I'm still expecting to get mine in January 2003 but this is a good sign!!
- 'unamed source' quoted on the news page at 2cpu.comThe issue has been resolved quietly by Intel, and an updated chipset has been released. All current "retail" boards should be shipping with the new chipset (designated "BO").
So, P4G8X is in mass production and limited quantities should appear soon. The serious volume looks like being in January 2003 though. I can't believe I actually got a response from Asus!! Good on yer Will Teng!!Thanks for your support. Regarding your questions, the P4G8X is currently in MP stage and limited shipments has already begun in the markets you mention. Volume shipments should begin at the end of this month. ONce again, thanks for your support, and feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
Best regards,

Both have onboard sound. The Deluxe board comes with Realtek ALC650 (6-channel) codec, whereas the basic board comes with AC97 codec.Originally posted by: Fant
Looks like there are 2...1 is $192 and the other is $215....the $192 lacks the firewire, sata, and gb lan.....so neither has onboard sound correct?
