Anyone have any clue as to when they're coming out? I would assume that they're waiting until they can get USB 3 and/or SATA 6Gb/s on it. October? I'd like to pair one with a 920 but Intel is planning on discontinuing them so if I wait too long I've got a board without a chip...

Typo fixed, thanks! - Kyle Now to be flooded with P55 mobo reviews over the next 30-45 days. I think thats why I'll be waiting until October to dive in - so the motherboard situation can settle down, and we know which ones deliver. I'd like to see that 6 memory slot Gigabyte board tested!

I have a Q9450, and there are basically 3 things I'm waiting for... Overclocking ability of the 860 with all 4 DIMM slots full (4x2GB) - if only affordable 4GB sticks would come out sooner, I think they're supposed to be here around CES, fabbed at 40nm instead of 50nm and 1.35V instead of...

I keep thinking the 860 will be the chip for me. Since x264 seems to make use of hyperthreading, its worth it (and I encode a lot).

Debating between i7-920 and some 8x0 chip. Waiting for the reviews to hit. Would like to have 12GB of RAM even if its unnecessary. I wonder if the 6-slot Gigabyte boards will actually be able to accept six DIMMs (I read somewhere else the 4-slot channel can only take single sided sticks...

I think that was the method I tried for W7. It didn't seem to work either.

So for reasons I wont go into, I'm switching to AHCI (P35/ICH9). In Windows XP I tried to follow these directions and it didn't work, I get a BSOD quickly on OS boot. In windows 7 it tries to do that startup recovery thing but fails to fix it. Anyone have any suggestions as to how...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. It looks like it was on its way out - now it wont get past the BIOS, regardless of what RAM I install. It just locks up at the memory test. I'm going to let it (and me) cool down overnight and try again tomorrow after work. If I cant get it working tomorrow...

WTF did I see a 3.5" floppy drive in there?

I wanted to try the USB drive, but I cant figure out how to get an ISO onto my USB drive from OSX. Copying the files directly didn't work. Thanks for the ideas guys. I'll let you know...

When trying to install Windows 7 from a burnt DVD (verified when it was burnt), the system will just hang at the "Starting Windows Setup" or whatever it is after it asks if you want to install windows or repair your system. It just sits there. I get the 3-sec interval HDD light, and no activity...

When I tried to go from 333->345 (2.66 to 2.76Ghz) the RAM was running at 1:1. Even below its 800MHz rating, it wouldn't OC. Its not a stability issue, its a cant get out of the BIOS, reboots at the same place every time whether I've OC'd 1% or 10%.

OK so I tried 6-6-6-18 and tried to OC it a little (FSB 333 -> 345). Nope still wont go. Gigabyte told me to go buy some Kingston RAM instead. Not too happy with that response. I may have to see if newegg will let me exchange them for a GB approved kind.

Its at 2V. I will try 6-6-6-18 this weekend. We'll see, I have a hard time returning RAM if it passes memtest. I dont think newegg will let me swap this for a different kind of RAM either (that might not have this problem with my mobo).

OK tried the following and nothing worked. Removing 1 stick of RAM Increasing MCH voltage to +0.3V

GMCH Voltage already +0.2V. I can try higher but I'm weary of doing that.

G.Skill 2x2GB 5-5-5-15

I have tried it with both the last "final" bios and the new beta bios for the motherboard. I did find the ctrl-f1 eventually. However, the fact that I can OC the RAM to 900MHz at the current settings (5-5-5-15) at 2V tells me that its not a RAM performance issue. Tonight I'll try it with...

I toyed around with it some today - I can OC it from inside windows using the Gigabyte Easytune software. I got it up to 3GHz/900MHz RAM and Prime95 tested it for about 15 minutes just to make sure it'll work. It goes back to stock upon reboot. So I know the CPU, RAM and the system in general is...

Memtest ran fine for 4 hours at 400MHz so I don't think the RAM is an issue. Its got to be the BIOS. Maybe I can send the RAM back to newegg for an exchange for a different kind. Sigh....

I couldnt figure out how to manually set the ram timings on this mobo (maybe I cant if its the cheapo mobo of the GB family). I looked through all the BIOS pages and couldnt find it. All I get are divider settings. The voltage is set a 2V (the chips state DDR2-800 at 1.8-1.9V). I'm inclined...

I dont know off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure its north of 550W. To round out the system, I have 2 HDDs (400GB, 750GB), a DVD burner and 7900GS. I didn't think that was too intensive.

I have a GB P35-DS3L and a Q9450, I upgraded from 2x1GB DDR2-800 to 2x2GB DDR2-800. With the 2x1GB sticks I had no problems, it OC'd fine to 3.2GHz with a 1:1 ratio (800MHz RAM). With the new 2x2GB sticks even if I overclock it to 335 (from 333) it'll reboot when it goes to do the device...

They're designed for netbooks (EEEpc, Dell Mini9, Acer Aspire one), not PC.

Bump... down to $30

Heh, I placed my order for the RunCore model as soon as I found out this SSD didn't fit. Its a shame newegg wont let me return it. Still for sale! Make me an offer! I lowered it to $40+sh (since newegg keeps lowering their price)

Its bootable but its designed for netbooks (well, ones that are big enough to fit it - I believe the asus 900/1000 can take this, but I'm not sure). I dont think you'd want to put it in a desktop.
