This site didn't even include the A8N-E in the Nforce 4 Ultra roundup: http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2465 It probably wasn't feature rich enough- if only ASUS had brought out the A8N-E Premium... Sigh. Oh well, I'm happy with my A8N-E- just wish it had Firewire. Last I...

Oddly, Newegg is no longer carrying the regular A8N-E (they have a few refurbs left, but no new ones...) I wonder if this is the end of the A8N-E regular??? And at this point there's no way there's going to be an A8N-E Premium... I'm actually suprised there hasn't been a refresh on...

I just put together 2 A8N-E MBs w/ Venice cores. I purchased from newegg and they came with bios 1001. I had two different behaviors: 1st: booted, said "checksum error" - f1 to continue, del to enter setup. I figured this checksum error was due to the venice CPU. I put in a floppy...

> I called tech support at asus today and they said to expect the board by the end of > may beginning of june. The tech said that he was waiting for the same board. Ugh, no way! Jeese, the waiting game on the Venice / Rev E Athlon 64 cores and the A8N-E Premium boards have been horrible...

Does the 2nd SATA controller on the S8N-SLI Premium motherboard support single drives, or can drives attached only be run as RAID arrays? Thanks! Andy

Athlon 64 Rev E / Venice has been released! http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/athlon64-venice.html

Interesting thread on super cooled Venice / Rev E cores: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=57291&page=1&pp=25 These folks are really liking this chip. Hopefully they'll be available in decent quantities come April 4th!

> Any released date for the Premium non SLI board? Thats what I really want but I can > not wait much longer. I think it's earlier in this thread- I believe an ASUS rep told someone who attended CeBIT and posted here that the A8N-E Premium board was to follow the non Premium by about 6...

I don't know if the Premium will have an extra wired LAN port- it is supposed to have Firewire, 802.11g wireless and 4 more RAID SATA ports.

fire inside- I don't remember the details, but I think I remember that the upcoming Venice core Rev E Athlons (on sale starting April 4th) will have upgraded memory controllers that allow for using more dual channel sticks. You might need to get one of those if you're wanting to use more...

That's been retracted: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=21901 Nvidia denies Nforce 3/4 problems By Fuad Abazovic: Thursday 17 March 2005, 10:38 WE HAD A CHANCE to talk to Nvidia about our article where we mentioned that Nforce 3 and Nforce 4 might have problems with the new...
