We recently reviewed the ASUS P5K3-Deluxe in our P35 chipset introduction article that provided a first look at 1333 FSB and DDR3 support for current and upcoming Intel processors. We found the ASUS board provided a high level of performance, as did the Gigabyte GA-P35T-DQ6 DDR3 motherboard in our follow up article. However, neither board offered any real tangible benefits over their DDR2 brethren in our opinion.<br><br>

The first beta BIOS we received after our return from Taiwan was from ASUS for the P5K3 Deluxe board that features improved 1T Command Rate performance and the ability to manipulate the memory strap. The current beta BIOS is 0504 and allows the memory strap to be set at 200/266/333 (Quad pumped 800/1066/1333). We have also been able to utilize 1T settings up to DDR3-1860 with this BIOS and the Micron Memory.
