I posted a pic of it a while ago but heres some more for those who haven't seen it yet.
why P45 in extreme level mobo...!
If that board was X38/X48, it would be THE MOTHERBOARD but now it is just nice looking board with decent features and high price tag.

seeeeeeeeexy
Looks like the sound card has an integrated X-Fi chip.
Saw it a while back but it is honestly the nicest looking mobo ever.
too bad it is not the best...ghettoperson wrote:

I can't wait to see Asus X58 mobos.

Whats the deal with crossfire on P45 btw? I keep reading that in crossfire mode it runs at x8 speed in each lane rather than x16 like the X38/48, anyone want to cast some light on this? Seems a bit shitty if it is the case :\
Av taken a massive interest in crossfire now from what I have read about ATI's new 4870, but this seems a bit strange that a new board would have that limitation, or am I missing something?
Edit: second paragraph

yep that is the case. 8x/8x crossfire... not good. It will bottleneck performance. Thats why x38/x48 pwns this board easily.Bell wrote:

edit: x38 and x48 have 16x/16x 2.0 crossfire support.

Mmm well its out the window for me then :\ I was looking at a dual 4870s as a potential upgrade (or even a 4870, and then a 4870X2 in august). I RMA'd my P35 DS3L and 8800GTS after some bad problems, am fine on my macbook at the moment but am in need of a gaming rig.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

Well there you have it Martyn. X38 or X48 is the win. Panzer confirm plz.

take a look at this X48 from asus. Without any doubts it is pretty much the best mobo for Intel CPUs atm.

So what is the point in P45 then over a P35 then? I was under the impression the whole point of forking out the extra cash for an X38/48 was for crossfire, if this board doesnt have that am kind of strugling to justify it, atleast at the prices I have seen.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

Well its for those who don't wanna OC to the extremes. It has less connectors for example only 4 SATA ports. Basically for those who don't need much, just stability.Bell wrote:

Ok this one has more that 4 SATA connections but it doesnt have an LCD screen for example.

But it's no where near as awesome looking. If I was trying to pick up chicks with my motherboard, I'd have to go for the MIIF.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

I take it X58 is a DDR3, LGA 1366 (or whatever) board then?
Any ideas on that's release, think I saw a pic of it on nordichardware not too long back, the green thing (I cant believe I just said that ).

it is said to be released Q4 2008. Nehalems will be out Q4 2008 - Q2 2009 so X58 will be out the same time. Most likely Q4 this year.Bell wrote:

It might be DDR3 and DDR2. porbably just DDR3 since it won't be released anytime soon. Panzer knows more about the release date. I think it will be LGA 775 or maybe there will be a new socket thats still unknown. I would say LGA 775 so it can support the older Nehalems. (The will be old when this chipset is released).Bell wrote:

I like all the features and how everything is placed on the mobo, but if its not from amd I will not buy it.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:
