nigjones Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 I note that this board does not appear in the section for finding Compatable Modules on the previous chipsets Am I wrong or hasn't this been updated yet? Nigjones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekT Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 The P5B-E employs the i965 chipsets. The X38 is a chipset itself. There is no such thing as a P5B-E with a X38 chipset. The ASUS P5E, P5E3 Deluxe, Maximus Formula, are all X38 based motherboards. If these are what you are requesting information about, you are correct. The Memory Configurator has yet to be updated with X38 chipset based boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the manual for the P5E ALL ddr2 8800 memory will be down graded to DDR2 667. but this list shows no information relating to 8500C5 memory and yet the manual implies its use as it mentions a fsb of 1066 when using DDR2 modules. In fact looking at the list that came with my 2 year old Asus board it seems to be identical. Thanks for all your help Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
