Alert Asus updated their site! took off prescott!

Check if your board still supports prescott.

Don't hate the messenger.

Mephistopheles · Jul 16, 2003

No, well, check <A HREF="http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=P4P800&langs=09" target="_new">again.</A> The Prescott support claims are still there!

I'm buying IS7 or P4P800. Don't care if they support Scotty or not. Late 2004 or early 2005 Will buy Grandtsdale that will run Scotty an Tejas.

HardWareBoss · Jul 16, 2003

Wasn't it back in Feb with all the talk about Canterwood and Springdale that all the Major Mobo did support Scotty? So what happened!!!!!

Mephistopheles · Jul 16, 2003

Check the link. I don't know why he said that, but ASUS <A HREF="http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=P4P800&langs=09" target="_new">still claims that P4P800 supports prescott.</A>

Woow! Am I surprised or what?

I think you should get a hobby or something AMDChooser

Jake_Barnes · Jul 16, 2003

You are right - the specifications for the P4P800 Deluxe (CPU) used to say "New power design supports Intel next generation Prescott CPU" (yesterday: July 16, 2003)

Today - that claim/spec has been deleted. I had emailed Asus reference their claim - to see if they would back it up in writing - I got no response -

The deletion of the Prescott support claim is, apparently, my answer ...

Seems the initial "rumors" may well have had some legs - and not just an AMD plant.

(I have hard copies of "before and after" spec's)

What are you talking about???

Direct quote:

- Socket 478 for Intel Pentium 4/Celeron up to 3.2GHz+
- Intel Hyper-Threading Technology ready
- New power design supports Intel next generation Prescott CPU

Check the link - it was never deleted

Your wrong. Here's a link to the <A HREF="http://www.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=P4P800 Deluxe&langs=01" target="_new">P4P800 Deluxe</A> page today.

I printed the page yesterday and today - look closer - the claim has been deleted.

Check the links. ALL of them specify that ASUS's Canterwood and Springdale mobos are Scotty-friendly. Even the Canterwood mobos that don't officially support an 800MHz FSB still make this claim.

<A HREF="http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=P4P8X&langs=09" target="_new">P4P8X (865P)</A>

So for goodness sakes can we stop all of this nonsense about Asus repealing Prescott support? Asus most definately supports Scotty. End of story. Have a nice day.

I see the difference. Your links are to Asus N. America.

My <A HREF="http://www.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=P4P800 Deluxe&langs=01" target="_new">link</A> is to Asus Global. I don't know the difference. Do you.

Maybe the're changing them one at a time.

Mephistopheles · Jul 16, 2003

Apparently, there are two links:
<A HREF="http://www.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=P4P800 Deluxe&langs=01" target="_new">http://www.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=P4P800 Deluxe&langs=01</A>

AND

<A HREF="http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=P4P800 Deluxe&langs=09" target="_new">http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=P4P800 Deluxe&langs=09</A>

One says Prescott is supported, the other one does not. I do not fully understand what is going on here... :frown: Anyone has any idea? BTW, the only difference I could find was that the link that tells us that Prescott IS supported is actually North America-Asus. The manual (I've downloaded it) repeatedly says "Prescott supported".

Besides, not saying tha prescott is supported still doesn't say it is not supported. (I wonder if something has been hacked by a "loyal defender of AMD")...

See what happens when we pay too much attention to a rumor? Now we have no way of knowing... I still think, however, that Prescott will be supported and this is all BS. Electrical specs have not been corrected - at least not publicly - and have therefore remained unchanged for the last 2 months. THG still doesn't report a thing on that.

Or maybe they just have a different policy towards non-US owners. Either way, they made the claim and they even if they remove it from the site now a class action lawsuit would be easy as sin to win for customers who purchased their hardware under the promise that it'd be Scotty-friendly. Likely Asus would settle before even allowing such a lawsuit to become public knowledge. So I highly doubt that any Asus customers have anything to fear.

Check back tomorrow for the latest update ...

I emailed Asus USA tech and asked the Prescott question 3 days ago - still haven't received a reply.

Mephistopheles · Jul 17, 2003

<sarcasm>Alert! Asus updated their site! The US is no longer on the "globe"! - The US has now transcended into a dimension in which Intel boards support prescott. All other countries are doomed because they're still in the old dimension, the one in which prescott is not guaranteed to be supported. Physics works differently in this new dimension - where the US is now - so much, in fact, that equal boards can support more hardware in it!</sarcasm>

Sorry, couldn't control myself!

Yep, its no longer there for my P4800 865PE. That is a major reason I bought that mb. Their claim is false advertising, assuming Prescott won't work. Surely that would mean legal trouble for ASUS?

ltj311 · Jul 17, 2003

It would be a class action nightmare for Asus. I don't think they want to go down that road seeing how well they are doing for themselves n all.

Actually the sight never said "supports Prescott" it simply said that it met the power requirements of prescott. I think though that Asus will make good even if it is Intel who made a change. Thier rep depends on it.

blessme · Jul 17, 2003

if true, their cheapest way out is a free mail in exchange or coupon for the new prescott board.

Alert Asus updated their site! took off prescott!
