Abit ip35Pro XE...NEW MOBO

Hi folks
just been surfing the Abit site for driver updates for my IP35Pro, I now see they have bought out another version of this already great board.

Its the IP35 Pro XE...i wonder what the main difference is with this compared to its original?
I see its now got an FSB of 1600 and the heat sinks are now black.

Probs not much difference in performance though hey?

I'd hope this one has better 45nm support, the IP35 Pro on the ABit website still says "n/a"

I was wondering the very same thing.

The IP45 Pro lying next to it looks more interesting

but runs them no problem, both Wolfies & Yorkies.
Interestingly you can crossflash a V1.1 Pro with the XE BIOS (already done by 1 of the Mods on the abit forum).

Have you got a linkie to the thread? (hehe, lazy)

What sort of temp readings are they getting with the XE bios on the Pro board? Is it a straightforward flash?

Cheers
