Hardware Asus P5E3 Deluxe WiFi-AP @n

They're dropping in an nforce chip afaik.

 

yep, there's an nForce 100 chip on the Skulltrail board.

 

so what sort of numbering will Skulltail have? X49 or something?

i've now got my eyes on one of those, and the processor after Penryn, plus a next genre graphics card.

 

will there be a next generation ati graphics card coming out soon? i would hate to buy the 2900 now and find out 2 weeks later a new one came out, does anyone know?, thanks

 

well..there are pictures making their rounds on the web about the 2950 cards... but.. the release date is just speculation and the ones in the know are under nda.

 

I'm kind of out of touch given that my last high-end board was i875, but I realy don't get the point of bundling in all this junk. I might want to go for the X38 premium ofver P35, but I'll have my own sound card, wifi and whatnot, thank you.

Surely there's a market for something more streamlined?

 

the p5e3 deluxe wifi ap @n is basically the all bells and whistles board...

there will be cut down versions without all that stuff at a far lower price point.
