The Intel 975X platform offers a very competitive gaming platform when compared to the NVIDIA nForce 4 Intel Edition SLI. The performance of the Intel D975XBX is at or near the top or bottom in the benchmarks. We repeated our test suites several times, but the scores remained consistent. It is obvious that the board has potential, and in the areas where we can track the minimum and maximum frame rates, the board was extremely consistent in its averages.

    Im a self build Virgin - but I'm going in at the deep end. Intel's site makes their Dual Core stuff sound awsome!(a) Is it?(b)Should I look to spend my cash elsewhere when considering a motherboard/processor?

    This board is fine for stock performance and if you get rev-0304 it works very well with Core 2 Duo.

    Does this board support dolby digital live in the sigmatel audio chipset? I'm looking to replace my old SoundStorm setup.

    Also, does Intel High Definition = Dolby Digital Live support?

    Unlike most users of this motherboard that want to use the dual x8 PCIe slots for graphics, I want to use them for benchmarking a pair of x4 data acquisition boards we are developing. I want to test max rates to and from memory, as well as peer-to-peer transfers between the two boards (assuming the MCH allows this).

    So my question is: Do you think I can I put a x16 or x8 PCIe graphics card in the third x4 PCIe slot hanging off the south bridge? I don't care about graphics performance too much, I just want a dual monitor card that will work in that slot and leave the main two slots free.

    And ideas on this would be helpful. Thanks!

    I will try it this weekend and report back.

    Thanks Gary, I anxiously await the results of your experiment.

    Hi Neil,

    I had video working in this slot. I updated to the new bios release today and will test the performance in a couple of days.

    Thanks,
    Gary

    Neil,

    Performance is average but it works.

    quote:

    The x16 interface supports full duplex transfers up to 8 GBytes/second in x16 operation and single-ended transfers are supported up to 4 GBytes/second in x8 operation.

    error! That's not how pcie works! pcie is always full duplex, and never single-ended!
