    This board was mentioned in my thread

    onboard sata & esata compatibility

    and was wandering if you'd figured out why 2 of the ICH8R sata ports are black instead of being red like the other ports?

    Nope, nothing in the manual or drivers about them.

    Best bet is to try and dig through the Asus site.

    Just one IEEE1394 on a deluxe mobo?

    Not bad, but for an Asus deluxe mobo I was expecting to see two IEEE1394s, similar to the A8N32s. Or did I miss something?

    Hi and welcome to the forums.

    There is one IEEE1394 Firewire port on the back IO panel above the eSATA port, and there is another available via motherboard pin-outs (expansion bracket supplied), making a total of two.

    Hope this helps :thumb:

    Yeah. What's the overclockability on this board? So far, it seems like the only absolute options for any Conroe overclocker is the pricey P5W DH Deluxe, and to some degree Intel's "Badaxe" (I could never bear to buy something called 'BadAxe' myself), as it seems though every Conroe reviewer are using those boards for tests and overclocking.

    They may work well, but not everybody's got the budget for such boards, and it doesn't make sense if your E6300 cost less than the motherboard itself.

    Will this board have SLI support or will the Intel 975x boards have SLI support?
    I'm not sure which chipsets will have SLI support, but alot of people are saying that in a future BIOS upgrade some boards will have SLI support. I'm just curious if this board will be one of them.

    To my knowledge, this is the only board with Intel C2D board that had SLI support. Chipset is NF4 SLI X16

    This board doesn't have any multi-gpu support at all.

    At the moment, there is one nForce4 SLI X16 chipset that supports Core 2 Duo and that is the only one to support SLI and Conroe at the moment. NVIDIA is releasing nForce 590 SLI later this month, and board partners should be selling by the start of next month. At the moment, it's unclear whether i975X will support SLI - I've heard mixed responses from both sides of the fence. I guess time will tell on that front.

    Great review - nice looking board too, plenty of features for those not fussed for multi-GPU.

    :rolleyes:

    So this boards multi-gpu is undecided, odd.

    In the latest Maximum PC magazine, they built their new dream machine and they were using an Intel 590 mobo along with 2x 7900GTX, yet they did not specify who manufactured the board. I'm hopig SLI boards will come out soon.

    I hardly call it fussing - I just crave performance :lol:
