    Detail Information on Asus Blitz Formula Special Edition

    I can't find any reference to this motherboard on the asus website.

    Could someone please provide either a confirmed link or details on this board in terms of chipsets, specificly for the SATA and IDE controllers.

    Just to be clear the DDR2 version not the DDR3 version in case there are differences.

    thanks

    The information is poor.

    doesn't say what the chipsets driving the sata and ide controllers are, nor what the dual lan chipsets are.

    If its like the other workstation boards they do, both controllers will be marvell, just slightly different models.

    Not sure how the funky fix for the 2 PCI-E 16x slots will work though, I haven't seen a review where they have used crossfire or 1 gfx card + a raid controller.

    I have one on order from Tekheads at the moment, no idea when they are getting them in though (I'd order from scan but their choice of coolers is lackluster at best)
