Asus P5K3 Premium part 1

[Wizno]

Asus makes a good looking, well made product with a great layout
that's an evolution of the P5K series we've seen before. But the thing
is, is that it's //just like/ the P5K series. The features might as well
be identical and even though the concept is very innovative and screams
/"buy me because I'm cool" but would you drop £550 on 2GB of memory and
a motherboard?

It's meant to be a bit of a stop gap solution but performance DDR2
memory is so cheap and the actual performance difference is still very
low, so the intermediate market just isn't really there. Will it sway
the hardcore early adopters with money? Probably not as the likelihood
is that those people upgrade every other day, so soldering memory to the
motherboard will be too restrictive for them.

So great concept and potential motherboard, but questionable market
appeal. Does it have enough in the performance from the unique memory
architecture to warrant the investment?
