Asus P5Q Deluxe P45 Motherboard with DDR2 @ HotHardware

I cannot wait till these new P45 motherboards hit the scene. The technology is nothing revolutionary, but the smaller 65nm processor over the 90nm is. I can already hear the forums a buzz about the overclocking from these chipsets.

"As many of you are no doubt aware, Intel is planning to officially release a new mainstream chipset in a few weeks, the P45. From a feature standpoint, the new P45 is somewhat similar to last year's P35. The P45, however, will have official support for PCI Express 2.0, with a more flexible lane configuration for multi-GPU graphics, and the chipset itself is being manufactured at 65nm as opposed to 90nm. Using the more advanced process to build the chips should result in lower power consumption and lower operating temperatures as well. The P45 will also be paired up with a new ICH10-series southbridge, which is similar to the ICH9 sans a few legacy features."

I really am diggin' the Express Gate feature of this new board from Asus. It gives you an embedded Linux OS on boot up. This feature allows you to do many things without ever needing to us Windows. This is very cool in my book.
