Draft-n Wireless, Embedded Linux, Dual Gigabit Ethernet, Silent heatpipes, Dual PCI-Express Gen-2 x16 lanes, six SATA and just 5 seconds from turning on to getting on the net. Has Asus created the ultimate motherboard for us?

Nice! Boots embedded linux, thats awesome.

If the cheaper boards also would contain solidstate caps and mosfet powercircuits then it would be cool

260£? for that board? one can only imagine what the maximus boards will cost....

vsub · 1st Oct 2007, 14:22

Looks like a really decent board, so I may have to rethink my next update...
The I/O shield is something I've only seen with server boards so far; it's nice to finally see it in desktop boards.

Less than £260

I thought the Maximus was the Top board as it's a ROG board.
What does it lose?

Tim S · 1st Oct 2007, 15:11

There won't be Draft-n wireless for a start... I'd guess that's around 20 percent of the price of this board.

naokaji · 1st Oct 2007, 15:21

wow.. lol... a asus rog board for less than a non rog asus board... i wasnt expecting that to happen.

Bindibadgi · 1st Oct 2007, 15:43

Well the ROG is specifically gaming and enthusiast, not an all-inclusive feature orientated product.

naokaji · 1st Oct 2007, 16:02

Sounds good.. i'might consider getting one of the Rog's... except if the P5E3 without Wifi and with DDR2 support comes in nice and cheap.

Woodstock · 1st Oct 2007, 18:43

and hear was me thinking a nice cheap p35 would do me... the embed linux is an awesome idea with a lot of potential.... could this be community modded for more features

zr_ox · 1st Oct 2007, 20:43

Nice board, if it supported SLi I would drop money on that today without hesitation due to the sheer value in all those features.

When will we see a response from Nvidia so that those of us who want SLi can get in the game?

wuyanxu · 1st Oct 2007, 21:34

looks very good, it's for the riches with an extra 200 to drop on a memory.

and i love your labeling of everything on second page. that's what a buyer would like to know!

what will be the real deal is yet to come: ROG boards. those are the real boards us, gamers (i assume post on this forum are), will buy (if we are loaded)

pav1974 · 2nd Oct 2007, 01:32

when does this board go on sale?

SaII · 2nd Oct 2007, 02:39

too much copper, why don't they just use active cooling?

because heatpipes are the flavor of the month

Noise :P No one wants 40mm screamers in a system.

Board goes on sale next week or so.

I tried SLI, but it didn't work

Nvidia response is soon-ish, for DDR2 at least.

As for installing your own stuff - I looked but there's no option stick stuff on the linux module.

wuyanxu · 2nd Oct 2007, 09:55

you know Intel had a SLi system with X38 last week on demo. when do you think those kind of motherboards will be out?

SLI will be on Skulltrail only not on "normal" x38.... and they are putting a extra chip on the Skulltrail boards which the bios / driver will require to be present to allow for sli operation on Skulltrail but to prevent it from happening on other intel chipsets.
