After thinking long and hard, I've canceled my pre-order with excaliberpc. The wait is ridiculous, and we don't even know how much better the C55 will perform, as wusy and the other gentleman has pointed out.

I was going to build a second budget pc for my gf since she games also, but if the reviews for C55 turn out good, I guess by the end of year she's going to be very happy with pc I'm building now 😀 I went for the p5w-dh + scythe infinity for the same price I paid for this pre-order.

3.6ghz e6600 here I come :twisted:
 
According to there tech manual it does have EPP
It has a * next to it as far as I remember , I may be wrong but I checked it on there website and its because its limited with the FSB that makes this a problem.

@Supremelaw , The P5w64 is a better choice than the P5N32-sli dont you think?
 
alright. i think im gonna give excaliber another couple days. i dont really care i guess about the extra 60 or so dollars.

but.. if i do cancel.. and go to say.. like buy.com or something. im pretty sure my wait for the board will be extended.. which leads me to..

is there any cheap cheap boards.. i can buy to use in the meantime?

that can use.. PCI-e x16, DDR2 800Mhz, SATA.. LGA775 for either the conroe E6300 or this Pentium 4 531 that i have just sitting here collecting dust...

This sound good and cheap if you don't need AGP: http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/articles/view.php?cid=6&id=2054
(ASRock ConRoeXFire-eSATA2 (Intel 945P Express - Core 2 Ready)

I don't have that board but I do have the 'slower" asrock vista they mention. Its been rock-solid for reliability so far. Its not gonna win any performance awards but its way faster than my old Asus P4t-533C. Also, I still need AGP until DX10 cards come out anyway.

I was dissapointed with the new that the new nVidia 590 mobo is still C19 based, although they did say they'll roll out the C55 soon.

I think I'm gonna wait for the C55, as I have an extreme and I want to OC the hell out of it 🙂 Actually it sounds like the wait might not be that long. (1month maybe?). Hopefully about the same time DX10 GPU's start rolling out.
 
Well, heres my perspective...
Waiting the for best of the best is pointless

With the C19 or C55, trying to keep up with the most recent of technology is pointless when it comes to computers. You can spend $3000 only to find out that 2 weeks later there is a better memory module, better gfx card, and a better etc. It's mind numbing. If you want something and it will please your needs get it, no sense in waiting...
If you wait for the C55...by the time it's about to come out you will hear of some new thing to replace the C55 within a few months and then you will be wanting to hold off on the C55 and continue the whole vicious circle all over again.

Let's say you got the C55 paired with the 590sli chipset, two weeks later you'll get word of a C55 with some new chipset(6xxsli or and intel 9xxseries) or a sucessor to the C55 (Cxx or something)
Or you'll get a new mobo with a C55 then there will be a better mobo in a week or perhaps a more deluxe version or a new processor that uses a different socket type coming out in a month or two or a new mobo that natively supports a higher ddr2 memory...Uhg *yawn*

Also when pcie-16x got released they talked about raising the bandwidth to pcie-32x soon after 16x became standard... (think of agp 1x to agp 2x to 4x then to an 8x) so are you now going to wait for the release of pcie-32x slots on a new motherboard? Pcie-16x will get outdated soon enough...then you would have to get a new mobo and new gfx card.

The news about the g80 from nvidia and R600/R680 from ati are saying that they will require somewhere around a 1000watt psu for Crossfire and SLI configurations using a 3rd video card for Physics or using 4 video cards together. So might as well get a 1000watt psu to be somewhat future proof. Thermaltake is coming out with a 1200watt soon that support quad sli.

External graphics cards have been talked about...to reduce the need for a huge powersupply...

Internet bandwidth is becoming faster....will there be some new standard in ethernet cables?

DDR3 is moving it's way to motherboards to replace DDR2 are you going to wait for that?

NEWSFLASH: Tom's $10,000 computer...is already outdated. So are all the top of the line computers from Falcon northwest,DELL XPS, and Alienware.

People bought the C2D for top of the line...within two weeks there was word of the Quad core from intel and amd spreading like wildfire (there was news about it before the c2d launch, but not many talked about it)

The only reason to wait for a new motherboard would be to wait for one that incorperates some of Vista's new technology if you plan on getting the new operating system to use some of it's most advanced features. The coolest one being that it will allow the Vista operating system to use pen/flashdrives plugged into usb2.0 slot as added memory when they are plugged in to your computer allowing faster bandwidth yields than current harddrive to cpu configurations...kind of like a much slower virtual ram..now that's something worth waiting for.

Speaking of USB2.0...USB3.0 is in the works allowing much more power to be fed through the slot so it can power some serious power hungry devices.

There's news on motherboards will will feature a seperate socket next to the cpu for added upgradability are you going to wait for that?

http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4258

Asus and Gigabyte merger...I want gigabytes error post on Asus mobos...can't wait to see what they come up with.

And last but not least, arent you the slightest bit curious on what new technologies the AMD-ATI merger will create...imagine a graphics card thats not made to support a both intel and amd processors...imagine a graphics card made specifically for amd cpu's that perfectly allocate every process creating a huge boost in performance (specific support for amd memory controllers, hyper transport, etc etc etc). This means that the gpu wont have to beat around the bush just so it can operate with both intel and amd preocessors. It would be seamless...or it could be.

Anyways...thats my take on things, no point in getting the best of the best...

Here is what I plan on getting (i know the site looks like crap..but it makes my job easier)

Hey, who is talking about ram and processors and all that stuff? You are getting off-topic aight, we want a good motherboard which possibly (almost sure) will have support for quad-core something p5n32-sli premium wont. Also, everything you have mentioned that is coming up, is coming in 2007 starting from Q2. We are gonna wait 1 month more maybe to get a good motherboard which is worth the wait, you are saying, after we get the C55, we will want to wait 8 more months to get a new motherboard? thats a really bad comparison my friend. If you think we dont know the following sentence "computer technology updates every single day", then let me tell you we do. We just want to make the best purchase we can and not wait for something that is gonna be released the next year.
 
I understand that computer technology progresses rapidly and everything we buy thats bleeding edge will be outdated quickly, but it doesn't change my decision. It will always be a vicious cycle, but for my own satisfaction, I'll wait for it. And thats what its really all about.
 
Slim142:
Always a hater in every bunch, I'm just trying to put forth some knowlege for you to feed upon.

I don't care if you wait for the C55. I'm just saying to some of the people here, that holding out for the "next best thing" isn't always worth the wait.

My topic was purely about motherboards so don't be thinking I was getting off topic. Motherboards are the center of everything and if one thing changes...the entire motherboard changes along with all the other components.

There are a lot of things to come, if you want to wait a month thats fine and dandy but some people always keep waiting around for the "next best thing" and that's not always wise.

I wasn't specifically generating my last post for you, I'm speaking to the masses.

kk thnx.

and one more thing stupid assumptions like

"If you think we dont know the following sentence "computer technology updates every single day", then let me tell you we do."

Doesn't show a lot of maturity on your part. I'm just stating simple facts that most people aren't aware of so they know whats going to change on the motherboards in the near future.
 
There are a lot of things to come, if you want to wait a month thats fine and dandy but some people always keep waiting around for the "next best thing" and that's not always wise.

We want (*cough*wait*cough WE WILL wait) 1 month to get a great Quad-SLI, Quad-Core, Great overclocker motherboard, we have been saying that since many days ago, for some reason you are telling us that we dont know what we are doing? just wasting time or something? c'mon we are here in this topic to talk about what the best decision will be either the c19 just released or to wait.

We all know some "stupid" people think they will have the best technology for months, but we know they wont and that whatever they think they are wrong. We all know that...

If your topic was about motherboards, why you mentioned ram, videocards, 1000 watts PSU, DDR3, USB 3.0 you also talked about Toms Hardware, alienware, vista etc... isnt that offtopic? and to make it worse, you talked about what will be released in 8 months which doesnt matter "in this topic" because this is all about either the P5N32-SLI Premium, C19, C55, NVIDIA and ASUS and because we are in need of a motherboard NOW not in 8 months or Q2 07.

And dont call me a hater because I have been doing this topic (Yes 32 pages going to 33) with no fights to anybody.... but you just pissed me off with that topic which didnt have anything to do with what we are here to talk about.
 
Incredibly valid point spoken by 3lfk1ng, incredibly valid indeed. I would like to be the first to heartily agree that he is entirely correct in his statements. Unfortunately, it seems like this board is losing steam.

C19, release date that has been pushed back 1.5months, (1 week at a time,) hardware features that aren't fully known, possibly lacking support for specific types of high performance RAM... Seems that the list goes on. (Not to mention overclocking.)

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade here, and I am certainly going to watch this board when it -finally- arrives, but in the mean time, I don't have the motivation to keep holding my breath for something that doesn't call to me. When I pay off some debts and start looking into building myself a sweet custom PC, I will surely look to this board, and I will definitely be watching for reviews and specs on this thing, but I may go in another direction. However, technology moves fast (as we love to tell eachother,) and I feel it stupid to eternally wait for the hotter tech. When I get the money to build, I will build with what I have availible, with what my money permits. Hopefully, some tweaking and enough time will make the system run quite well.

*wait wait wait wait*

Thank you Corksil :), yes this board has lost it's steam.

touche' Slim142 my original post got rated 5 stars by 2 people apparently who appreciated my post.

Well, you made my day, I always laugh at people like you who argue with someone in the forums (argueing in forums is pretty stupid, pointless, and immature don't you think?)....especially when your absolutely wrong.

"for some reason you are telling us that we dont know what we are doing?"

Show me where i said this and I'll make you a millionare somehow...

we are here in this topic to talk about what the best decision will be either the c19 just released or to wait.

No, we are talking about "nVidia nForce 590 Chipsets For Conroe. Where are Them?" read the topic of the initial poster. They are coming out soon and I simply pointed out a few cool options that will be coming along with the 590 chipset, or around that general timeframe.

We all know some "stupid" people think they will have the best technology for months, but we know they wont and that whatever they think they are wrong. We all know that...

Who's we??? Your assuming that everyone here posting in this forum is just as smart as you would like to think you are.

If your topic was about motherboards, why you mentioned ram, videocards, 1000 watts PSU, DDR3, USB 3.0 you also talked about Toms Hardware, alienware, vista etc... isnt that offtopic?

Because all of those things require a specific motherboard to function properly. Different components require a motherboard that's compatible with them. Simple
If someone wants a 2gig ddr2 240pin pc-8500 compatible, quad Nvidia gpu compatible, core 2 duo ready motherboard...they will want to look around at there options and know what components they will need...or what is coming out in the near future that fit's there need.

-New memory requires a mobo that supports it, pc-8500 isnt compatible will all motherboards right now, nor is Corsair's epp/sli certified.
-New products like quad gpu on a quad gpu compatible mobo will require a 1000+ watt psu that has QUAD SLI pcie gfx pwr connectors. Right now about a $500 power supply, thermaltake will be cheaper and is coming out with a 1000watt and 1200watt psu's soon.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817703004
http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/product/Power/power_index.asp
-ddr3 will require a ddr3 compatible mobo
-USB 3.0 will become standard on mobo's no matter how soon or far away it is.
-Tom's $10,000 computer isn't quad core, quad gpu, the motherboard is already outdated nor does it use a 590sli chipset.
-Alienware will sell there same system for almost a year before they come out with a new model...thus paying $5000 for a pc from alienware would include an outdated motherboard.
-Vista will bring forth a ton of new motherboads that feature technology that Vista will take full advantage of. 8 gigs memory anyone?

And dont call me a hater because I have been doing this topic (Yes 32 pages going to 33)

Wow, congrats you have no life 😛

but you just pissed me off with that topic which didnt have anything to do with what we are here to talk about.

orly? Sooo....why did my entire topic cover the soon to come future of motherboards. Following closely to the full release of the 590 chipset

Check and Mate, done with you, moving on
kk thnx bye
 
Show me where i said this and I'll make you a millionare somehow...

thats why we are here, to talk about the best for our bucks. coming to say "waiting for the best of the best is pointless" is not of our matter since most of the people who are in here know why they are here for (since you dont want me to say we all) cuz non of us since I started the topic said such thing as "dont wait and buy a motherboard cuz it will get old no matter what" thats such an ingorant and I think you were the first one doing this.

Let me tell you I laugh at people like you too because I read on the internet and try to find information about this chipset which will inform people here and you come here to talk about everything but dont say nothing about the board or anything related to it.

we are here in this topic to talk about what the best decision will be either the c19 just released or to wait.
No, we are talking about "nVidia nForce 590 Chipsets For Conroe. Where are Them?" read the topic of the initial poster. They are coming out soon and I simply pointed out a few cool options that will be coming along with the 590 chipset, or around that general timeframe.

Exactly, and thats part of what we are talking about NOW, cuz we know the chipsets for the 590 already (if you didnt know, know you know it :)
We dont want something that will be considered "old" in maybe 1 month. Thats why we have now focused on the topic C19 or C55, if you are a little outdated is not my fault. Read from the beggining of the topic cuz it looks like you came a little late 😉

Who's we??? Your assuming that everyone here posting in this forum is just as smart as you would like to think you are.

Ok, since you want me to say "most people" then I can do it. The thing is that I never found such a dumb person here in the forums saying such thing as "I will have the best technology for months" or "Ill wait months to have the best". If you do, good for you, you have no life either reading those topics 😉 and maybe for answering them too 😉

If your topic was about motherboards, why you mentioned ram, videocards, 1000 watts PSU, DDR3, USB 3.0 you also talked about Toms Hardware, alienware, vista etc... isnt that offtopic?

We have talked more than 3 pages about memory so we dont need more information. Thanks for writing to us something we already know. New Quad-SLI configurations will require a 1000-watts, who in this topic has $1000 to spend ONLY on videocards? and if there is somebody, he will post any questions he has so we can help him, but if nobody does, the "1000 watts psu" topic is not neccessary. Thanks again.
DDR3 news have been released long time ago, and they will not become an standard in many months, why do you mention them? Does it has anything to do with "nVidia nForce 590 Chipsets For Conroe. Where are Them?" NO, so guess what? I dont think people want to listen to that in here, maybe somewhere else, in the memory section to be specific. USB3.0, ok, it will become an standard quick, so? will anybody change his motherboard JUST to have USB 3.0? anybody can just get a pci card and problem solved.

And for your information, Toms $10,000 IS QUAD GPU. Read again. It is outdated? who cares, with all the components inside is a kick ass machine and it will be for free if you win it.

Wow, congrats you have no life

Thank you very much, and it looks like you either since you have nothing else to do than use your computer to come a annoy in here. I dont know why you choosed this topic... we were all in peace.

orly? Sooo....why did my entire topic cover the soon to come future of motherboards. Following closely to the full release of the 590 chipset

There is no need to talk about the soon to come future of motherboards of Q2 2007 in this topic! Thats why we have a NEWS section in the main page of Toms webpage! and also webpages like anandtech or hothardware. Do they matter when C19 and C55 wont even include your "cool features"? They are far away from now. I dont need the info from you and this is a point that I want to highlight...

WRITED BY YOU

No, we are talking about "nVidia nForce 590 Chipsets For Conroe. Where are Them?" read the topic of the initial poster...

EXACTLY, Why you covered motherboard standards of 2007? The C55 will NOT have that stop writing stuff which does not belong in here.

Check and Mate, done with you, moving on
kk thnx bye
 
*yawn*

Yes, I entirely agree with 3lfk1ng. Me? I'll have an Asus P5N32-SLI Premium as soon as they're available. Why? Because I've already got $3,000 in hardware sitting on the floor, and I can't wait any longer. But, that doesn't matter, because nobody cares. Nobody here cares who's purchasing now. Nobody here cares who's waiting. Nobody here cares who's getting something different, or what they're getting. Hopefully, everyone will be making decisions based on facts, not based on what everyone else is doing. So, what everyone else is doing doesn't matter. My point is, posts containing news or facts related to the nForce 590 SLI Intel Editon chipset assist people in their decisions, whatever they may be. Everything else only creates more irrelevant text to read through. Thanks for reading what is hopefully the last of this irrelevant content I speak of. Moving on.

I contacted Excaliber and they have yet to receive any shipments. Also, ZipZoomFly is indicating an ETA of 9/29. The wait continues (if applicable).
 
Man I was all enthusiastic about the Premium board when it was announced and it seemed so perfect and everything that I could ask for was there. Now all of this C19 vs. C55 stuff has sprung up. I know people have been saying October is now the magic month for nforce590 w/ C55 but does that actually mean October? Seriously? I would doubt it. Is something so small really worth waiting for? And with an unknown benefit? Even with C55, I don't think that the overclockability of an nforce board would beat that of a board with P965 of today, or whatever Intel releases between now and the eventual release of C55. How big of a difference would it make? We here have probably done more research into this board than 90% of the people that are actually going to buy it anyway. It's not like OCing on a Premium would be terrible; not the best, but surely not terrible.

Isn't the biggest feature of the Premium the fully-fledged official SLI support, with overclockability second to that? The P965 boards are the other way around, putting better overclocking before SLI (at least official SLI that is) which seems to be more like what some people are looking for judging from the amount of times people mention C55 (an overclocking feature, if anything).

I guess what I'm saying is that if you were looking simply for the best overclocker, you would be buying a P965, and not really even considering the P5N32* line. If you prioritized SLI, you would get the P5N32 Premium C19 or C55 without much fuss over having one or the other as the core feature of the board is kept the same. Or I guess you could try to have both features on an unknown, unreleased, and unnamed board that is somewhat faster and will be out eventually.

lol sorry about ranting, too :roll:

965 sucks. you're better off with an (older) 975X for overclocking and many other reasons.
 
Well, heres my perspective...
Waiting the for best of the best is pointless

www.geocities.com/bigelf72/uc

>> If you wait for the C55...by the time it's about to come out you will hear of some new thing to replace the C55 within a few months

I think the point is that we don't want to buy something new that has ALREADY shot itself in the foot before its even out.

>>The only reason to wait for a new motherboard would be to wait for one that incorperates some of Vista's new technology if you plan on getting the new operating system to use some of it's most advanced features.

What 'advanced features' are you thinking about? All the DRM perhaps?

OK I've run Vista RC1. It sucks. I went back to XP after about 20 minutes.

The only reason to upgrade to Vista is for DX10, and you can bet someone will figure out a hack to add DX10 to XP sooner or later. Microsoft want you to believe that Vista is a whole new OS. It isn't. Its basically XP with a new (laggy and slow) GUI and some more bloatware to use more RAM and CPU, and prevent you playing your own media. This means there will be little to no technical reason you can't run DX10 on XP, other than Microsoft artificially ensuring you can't, although they don't want you to know that.

The whole USB as system memory thing is a crap idea. USB flash is:
a) MUCH slower than RAM
b) More expensive than RAM.
c) Only take about 100k write operations, which won't take long for a swap drive.

You're MUCH better off spending the same money on regular RAM. In fact if you stay away from Vista altogether, you could probably won't need to upgrade your ram anyway.
 
I Just want it now, and in several months when Asus R.O.G. Nforce 590
Sli Intel Edition Comes out i just will pick it up, thats it. 😀
 
It looks like everybody is now gonna get C19? hmmm

My reason for getting C55 is because I want to have a good board. Something tells me that this C19 will be kinda same story as the sli x16 chipsets...

in this case c19 would be P5N32-SLI and C55 would be P5N32-SLI SE

see what I mean? c55 will be a new revision on the board and i like that because if any fatal error is found it will be fixed...

now, by the time c55 is released i will not care if nvidia announces a c67 or c82 cuz that would be stupid... :)
 
From http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=76692

Since you're saying you can wait until November, then here's what I would do:

I would skip any of the 590 chipset boards coming out later this month from ASUS and BIOSTAR. They are based on the nVidia Crush C19 chipset, which suck for overclocking. They can barely muster 330-350FSB overclocks.

Come November you should start seeing boards with the nVidia C55 chipset which many have speculated will be an overclockers dream for Conroe owners.

I would personally wait to see what DFI has up its sleeve. They will be releasing a C55 chipset board in November. That will be my next board. Until then, I will stick with my ASUS P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe which gets me a max 340FSB overclock. Not much, but it will have to do for now...

Good luck with your next motherboard.

From http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=4035

ASUS has announced their latest P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP board based on the "eradicated" nForce 590 SLI Intel Edition chipset and interestingly this board has 3 x PCI Express x16 slot (2 for SLI and one for Physics card). One could be mistaken that there is a NVIDIA Physics card from the PR but it probably mean that a 3rd NVIDIA graphics card (we reported before here) can be plugged into the 3rd x16 slot to do Physics calculations, similar to the ATi Crossfire Physics concept of using 3 graphics cards which we have seen during Computex. Apparently, only ASUS will mass produce boards based on nForce 590 SLI Intel Edition where others have opted for the upcoming C55 chipset to be launched in November. Luckily, C55 is pin compatible with nForce 590 SLI chipset so no major changes are required.

From http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=29&threadid=1923724&enterthread=y

We had a little chat with DFI this evening and they informed us that their highly anticipated LANParty UT nF590SLI-T2R/G motherboard has been officially canceled. It seems that DFI had decided to discontinue the motherboard before it was even released. Apparently, DFI is not very happy with NVIDIA's C19 chipset which resulted in poor overclocking when implemented on any motherboard. If you didn't know, the DFI LANParty UT nF590SLI-T2R/G motherboard is based on the nF590 Intel Edition C19 chipset which officially supports Intel Core 2 Duo processors and Quad SLI. The motherboard is one of the meanest looking socket LGA775 motherboards in the market and it also comes with a high-end digital PWM.

Nevertheless, DFI is currently working on the newer NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI Intel Edition C55 chipset and the motherboard has been rescheduled from 2007 to Q4 2006. We can expect a brand new DFI Intel Edition SLI motherboard within 2 to 3 months time and we were told that DFI is putting their main focus in this project.

For nVidia, nForce 500 Intel Edition family is the new option. nForce 590 SLi Intel Edition(C19 SLi+ MCP55) supports 2x16 SLi, while nForce 570 Ultra Intel Edition(C19Ultra + MCP51) has no SLi function. C55 chipset is the replacement of C19 northbridge, featuring 1333MHz FSB and DDR2-800. It’s expected to be releasing in 2007 Q1. In addition, Supporting ECC Registered and Memory scrubbing on Single-bit errors, C55 may also appear in the workstation and server market. In addition, it has rumored that nVidia plans to provide Intel based IGP solution, yet it’s not confirmed.


According to all of them it might be release either october, november, december or even Q1 of 2007, this is getting ridiculous, but Ill wait, there is no problem.
 
I Just want it now, and in several months when Asus R.O.G. Nforce 590
Sli Intel Edition Comes out i just will pick it up, thats it. 😀
Thats the money shot , right there , hit it on right in the middle.

I reckon the C55 will take november december , all I have heard from Nvidia is delays and maybe this too is one of them delays. This thread is growing day by day
 
Must I quote a well known and time-old adage?

"Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics - even if you win, you are still retarded."


The board is coming, we are all talking, no one cares too much about eachother's computers. Lot's of posts are happening while this mobo ceases to be released. *wait wait wait, talk talk talk, beat off, wait wait wait!*

Peeps love to hear themselves talk, I am no exception.

Re: nVidia nForce 590 Chipsets For Conroe. Where are Them? NOT HERE, NOT EVEN CLOSE, LOOK ELSEWHERE!"

.:EDIT:.

I have just recieved news that the board is not anywhere else. Please kindly disregard my previous statement, as... wait a moment... BREAKING NEWS! I have just received word that the board NEVER DID EXIST! It is indeed a HOAX, designed to see how many posts it would get on "Tom's Hardware Guides" internet message boards!"
 
Great, another prove that not even ASUS cares about what they publish on their page.

Im tired of this and I think all of you do too, p5n32-sli premium with c19 released yesterday and not even a single word from retailers... what the hell is going on! im getting angry! :evil:
