| ASUS P5W64 Professional Workstation Motherboard Launched |
ASUS recently announced the launch of a professional workstation platform for Intel Core2 processors. The P5W64 WS Professional is a workstation-class motherboard, nicknamed the Wall Street Quartet. It supports quad-PCI Express architecture, enabling the system to connect up to eight monitors.
Based on the Intel 975X chipset and supporting the Intel Core2 CPU (and future multi-core CPUs), the P5W64 WS Professional provides powerful computing and superior scalability for demanding professionals. The P5W64 WS Professional comes equipped with four PCI Express slots, enabling a system to accommodate up to eight monitors. The new motherboard is ideal for the financial sector, where multiple monitors are necessary to watch the market, or for professionals in other fields requiring similar display needs (such as Graphic Design, Architecture, Animation). The PCI Express slots support high-speed input/output control cards as well, providing excellent flexibility and compatibility that make the P5W64 WS Professional a unique solution. Superb 975X Chipset and Dual-Core Processing Platform Based on the Intel 975X chipset, the P5W64 WS Professional supports Intel's most powerful processors, including the advanced Intel CoreTM2 and future multi-core CPUs. Together with ATI's CrossFire multiple-GPU technology and native dual-channel DDR2 800 support up to 8GB, the P5W64 WS Professional is powerful enough for any resource-intensive application. Expandability for future upgrades The P5W64 WS Professional offers two PCI slots, two IEEE 1394a ports, eight USB 2.0 ports and eight Serial ATA-II 3Gb/s ports for establishing two sets of RAID. With superior expandability, the all-new motherboard is ready for the future of personal computing. Silent cooling Stack Cool 2 is a fan-less and noiseless cooling solution offered exclusively by ASUS. It effectively transfers heat generated by the critical components to the other side of the specially designed PCB (printed circuit board) for effective heat dissipation. The result is a temperature decrease of up to 20 degrees Celsius. 8-Phase Power Design The 8-Phase Power Design generates less heat than conventional power solutions. It reduces input ripple current and output ripple voltage, which prevents the CPU and VRM (voltage regulation modules) from suffering high power stress. It has the advantages of quick transient response and stability, especially beneficial when the CPU requires more power during extensive applications and overclocking. Specification summary
