So there are two variants then. The DDR3 version above (with memory) and a DDR2 version below (without memory):

I'm interested in the second one.

I think people are just getting confused the 'P5K3' is a DDR3 board and the 'P5K' is a DDR2 board.

There are too many variants to count of each board inlcuding some DDR3 boards supplied with Memory !!!

Yeah, I was only aware of the P5K Premium (Black Pearl) but Asus seemd to have released a P5K3 Premium as well. The thing is, apart from the memory interface, they look quite different visually too, particularly the heat pipe!

Haha all this confusion is caused by Asus having 300 slightly different boards.

The P5K is DDR2, no matter whether it is Premium or anything else.

The P5K3 is DDR3, for example the P5K3 Deluxe Wifi/AP

Blitz Formula is DDR2

Blitz Extreme is DDR3

The P5K3 Premium/WiFi-AP is the one with DDR3 already installed.



I hope this clarifies things a little - I realise this thread is a couple of days old so you may know the answer already, but I've spent ages on the Asus site so I thought I should comment...

Here is a link to another etailer selling the board I was originally enquiring about so you have a better idea what I am talking about. I'm very interested in knowing when and at what price you will have it for sale.

It depends largely on what price it will be because at the etailer I linked to it is very expensive and I would rather order the Asus Blitz Formula for an almost identical price.

Please can you confirm that the bios shipped on the board is G0 stepping compatible, I'm quite certain it is.

[cupra-sport]

yeah it works with an e6850 straight away although i had my bios downloaded before the board came

The P3K3 with onboard memory, ouch thats a price! Is DDR3 still worth going for, last time I looked for the price it just was not worth the performance gained.
