OCWorkbench has posted pics and specs of the new Asus nForce3 board for Opteron at http://www.ocworkbench.com/2003/asus/sk8n/asussk8ngallerypage1.htm Looks pretty interesting.

I was going to drool but I'm confused. No 64-bit slots? And a miserable Promise controller? If the nForce3 is to be a 64-bit system why no 64-bit slots-what am I missing here? Please explain to poor ole pr. :confused:

Good point, I'd hate to see the PCI bus throttling the advances AMD have made. Maybe we will see them on the workstation and server boards in the near future.

What are the time table for these in the marketplace???

"Crash Free BIOS????" How did I miss something like this? And, I agree, 5 plain 'ole PCI slots??? Maybe for an Athlon 64 "Hammer" but not a server class mobo.
