Stick with your deleux board its better two cards at 16x times as good as it gets. You wont see much benifit of a 3rd card as no software will use it. It will be very hard to get working and and slots will be running at like 4x or 8x. Stick with what you got.

Oh and please resize your pictuer the 56ker's will be screaming blue muder.

Rofl.. I dont mind it too much because it made me laugh but you do need to resize your picture. Its part of the Community Forums Rules and its a huge HUGE GIGANTIC ENOURMOUS pain for the dial up users. Just giving you a heads up before a moderator comes after you ^_^

Stick with the x2 PCI-E board.

Happy Modding,

Please shrink the picture to a 1280*1024 MAX resolution. 1024 * 768 would be better. But you can't keep it like that one way or another...

It looks like a screamer, and it’s being called the gamer’s dream platform. For Intel people this could be fact and not fiction. This board comes with it all, 2 x PCI Express x16 slots and a 3ed for people that have to have SLI and a 2ed display. With support for the Core™2 Extreme and WIFI what more could you ask for. It should hit the outlets as soon as 9-18-06. If you want to be among the 1St to get your hands on this board you’re going to have to shell out about 300 clams. It also looks like it will/could support the upcoming Core 2 Quadro Kentsfield , It’s a dual core sandwich Yum, a 4 core processor with a 1333 FSB running @ 2.6GHz Intel has the (D975XBX Bad Axe) which supports the 1333 FSB with the 975X Express Chipset
LOL look at he heatsink on the nb omfg http://www.vadim.co.uk/popup_image/d975xbx_lg.jpg

With a copy of vista x64 and a core 2 Quadro or core 2 extreme x6800 this board should scream.
:D

I got mine on PRE-ORDER :eek:=:eek:

if you're looking for good ddr1000 ram or higher, there are a couple interesting packages out there.

mushkin was my favourite for a while because of this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146114

and i recently found these though http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231086, which i believe are the ones you are talking about. these are now the lowest official timings at ddr1066 ive ever seen, and my new favourite modules. you pay a price though... actually you pay a price for any of the performance stuff.

Yep the g skill 1000 , I am looking for some ddr2 that is going to be able to handle the new Core 2 quad-core processors. It's going to have a 1333 FBS
I got the board on order from http://www.xpcgear.com/p5n32sliprem.html
It showed it being in stock but Asus hasn’t given the ok to release it.:(
Here is a nice article on Intel’s new processor http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/09/10/four_cores_on_the_rampage/

[Slug Toy]

well that g.skill ram looks very impressive, ddr1066 with 4-4-4-5. very nice if you dont mind spending the $400+ for it.

that motherboard looks very cool too. only drawback is you're going to lose one or both pci slots. those are useful for sound cards and other stuff. i like to keep 2 pci slots open for that reason.

ok hear is the story teh 3ed pci x slot is for a "PPU" (Physics Processing Unit). bfg has 0ne,
