:eek:
soooooo much!!

Wow that's a lot of motherboards. Intel's just teasing us now, they're like "Here they are, they're ready, but YOU CAN'T HAVE THEM!"

"Asus" looks like "Anon" when not zoomed in. :laugh:

those pics are freakin huge! what camera did you use?

freaksaviorthose pics are freakin huge! what camera did you use?

His 24mp I think:D

Wow. What a lot of mATX boards!

And this one is cool. Funky "angled" CPU socket. You gotta admit, i5 is a great platform for smaller devices ;)




Oh, this will be a winner for SFF

Hmmm some space for some large DFI cooling. Sweet I5.

nice.

Canon ftw

Hmm.. the picture isn't good in my opinion to much disortion

I spy with my little eye a motherboard with 3 pci express lanes and 5 ram slots (or what i can tell is 5.)

5 ram slots? That can't be right...

True...

unless it's triple channel?

WhiteLotusunless it's triple channel?

Maybe a little birdy has a secret that they don't want to tell us. 3 dimm (or maybe 5 who knows) triple channel for future cpu's?

What's up with the Gigabyte EP55-UD5 board? Its got too many slots for dual channel. Plus there seem to be 4 blue and 2 white.

Also, how are the P55 boards doing 3 16x pci-e slots? Are they 8/8/4 or something else?

well 5 just isn't practical. Unless it can run two in dual - the white slots, OR three in triple - the blue ones

beautiful pics, beautiful camera (and one I really want but jeez the cost of it). That is a lot of mother boards. I think I counted like over 40?

Tripple Dual Channel?

My P45 based P5Q Deluxe has 3 PCI-E x16 length slots

8/8/4

That board's a little special. It has dual channel still, not triple but it has 6 slots. The white slots are not for RAM as such, but will take DDR3 sticks and turn them into a superfast ram-hard-drive. They're volatile AFAIK so when you shut your pc down the data needs to be in a hard drive but are very useful for caching applications and such (which i believe you can set - so you can set it to load you current game/fav. application on system startup) whilst keeping your system memory free (especially as we're down to dual channel memory sizes of 2/4/8gb atm).

True, but the way a lot of the P55 boards are setup would initially make me think that your could run 3x crossfire/sli as if that is what everyone had in mind. Reminds me of the way crossfire was done on the P965 and P35 series except with 3 slots now instead of 2.

I do like the new color combo that Asus is going with. A lot better than their past efforts.

thats odd; they also have a few x58 boards there...

The Gigabyte P55-UD5 supports the Intel Core i5 processor (LGA1156) with a dual channel memory architeture. It has a 24 phase design so you should have more stability with higher clocks. it comes with 3 full length slots supporting CrossFireX. It it unsure if it will run SLI.

As with Intel P55, it supports SATA 3 (SATA III) 6.0Gb/s. The chipset is is a Marvell hybrid chip which supports 4 SATA-3 ports and 6 SATA-2 ports with RAID 0/1 support.

The board also features a Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI) slot which allows you to speed up system access. It works similarly to the ReadyBoost in Vista.

Now that's cool!
