What you need firewire for ? thought usb 2.0 was as fast now !

Finally running Asus P5N-E now too I feel its a really good product you must have had some lemons its about 8mths old & not a blipadmitedly uses Nforce chipsets i'm afraid :-/

Its likely I can't use gigabyte due to their inability to follow the ATX spec :( - I have a very specific slot layout I need as per original thread.

Firewire needed.


Sounds like nobody has come across a board matching my requirements  :'(

Wrong slot layout on those Asus, Gigabit, as previously said, don't follow ATX/mATX standards, so cannot be used for this application.

Depends what you wanna do with it overclock etc i never bother anymore & to be honest the latest chipsets are all really pretty good

Plus I wont pay too much for one i reckon £60 is tops for my needs there are some good ones for that price
