X58 Mobo Pictures

The NF200 chip is only required for Tri-SLI, that's why it'll probably be incorporated into the top ROG boards, i'd be very surprised if the lower specced X58 boards from Asus don't support "normal" 2 way SLI, it's only a bios update after all.

Release time is getting closer!

I'm loving the position of the cmos Battery on the asus-p6t-deluxe.

Have to agree,

Why on earth have PS2 sockets and a Floppy ?

USB is still problematic at times and PS2 is the 1st thing to work and last thing to fail when your PC hangs.

agreed, the old dog hasn't had it's day yet..

floppy should be shot though, it's 100% pointless now

i wish they'd put the IDE port near the ram, or at least in the middle of the board!

no point in upgrading my DVDrw, it works flawlessly

if they move it any further, i'll have to buy a long IDE cable -might as well just replace the drive in that case!

kerrgreg · 25 Sep 2008 at 13:52

Hahaha very good point! ive got that same problem but lucky i have a long cable taken from a shuttle is one of the ones where the little indivual cabels were stacked to make it narrow

that has to be the most ugly NB cooler i've ever seen!!! nice amount of ram slots tho!!!

i think correct me if i,m wrong but these boards and chips run ram in matched triple slots...

and not pairs...

They look sweet for piling RAM into... 24GB should do the job

Bargain just ordered 3 Corsair 4GB DDR3 Dominator 2000C9DF Twin3X (2x2GB)

helmutcheese · 25 Sep 2008 at 14:45

LOL, bargain at £500+.

P.S, you need 3 sticks for a X58 to run Triple Channel.

I think it was possibly a joke/sarcasm.

HighlandeR · 25 Sep 2008 at 15:33

DDR3 still tad pricey tbh seen 2gig DDR3 stix going for £60-70ish roughly... but u can still pick up 2gig DDR2 stix for £20-25 easily...

So its still 2-3x the price tag off DDR2, if they were to release say 4gig DDR3 stix then that would make things most interesting

Id say 4gig is a sweet spot but I gotta admit on 6gig its just nice, perhaps 8gig max and that would end it, either that or 6x2gig DDR3 stix
