Vegasr said:So with Inte's board, are you saying that the 975X chipset is a 570 chipset?
I probably won't overclock too much. I have been using SLi for the past year and plan on having two cards in the future. Just don't know if I will get a second 8800GTX or possible two ATI cards, when they come out.
I am just curious what the census is out their between these two boards and if you had two choose between the two, then which one would it be.
If it boils down to the type of video cards, then that would make it easier to decide.
Thanks

The Asus P5N32-SLI deluxe, and the Asus P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe are both on the Nforce 4 32X intel Edition platform. The SE was just a rebuild that supported the new power management Core 2 Duo required. so the SE model supports C2D, the non-SE one supports (officially) up to the Pentium D 900 series.
The Asus P5N-SLI is on the Nforce 570 SLI Intel Edition Chipset.
The Asus P5N32-SLI Premium is on the Nforce 590 Intel Edition Chipset, which, as the name implys, gives a full 16 lanes to each card, even when running SLI.
The Asus P5N32-E SLI is on the Nforce 680i chipset, along with the Asus Striker Extreme.
Seems to me, and this probibly will start some flame but, I dont mean anything offensive, the XBX2 is just a bump Intel is giving their XBX motherboards. It features official support for DDR2 800, it has new BIOS, and it officially supports kentsfield. XBX has always unofficially supported DDR2 800, if you bought some DDR2 800, it would post out-of-the-box (no bios fiddling required), and 90% of the time, it would boot, out-of-the-box. The BIOS is completely board-partner controlled. So this is irrelivent. And, Well, I dont know enough about the XBX motherboard to claim it could run a kentsfield processer. But seriosly, you will see a subtraction in FPS if you go from a Conroe proc to its Kentsfield counterpart. Quad core procs can and will only be fully utilized in the Server market, but this is for a differant arguement.
I would go with a 680i chip-setted motherboard, because, on an E6300, i have heard of people making 500MHz FSB with no voltage bump. Plus, im an SLI guy, and, while it doesnt matter yet, and prob wont between now and the use of PCI-E2, the extra lanes you get per card on 680I, over 975X makes me feel like its more futureproof.
I'm saying the 570 chipset mobos (The BadAXE 1/2 are two such mobos)
verncat05 said:Again, you are not correct. The BadAxe 1/2 are INTEL chipset motherboards. The 570 chipset is made by NVIDIA. The BadAxe 1/2 use the INTEL 975X chipset.
