Recently Intel introduced the successor to their P965 Chipset, the brand new P35 Express Chipset, which brought support for DDR-3 memory along with support for Intel's future CPUs ( 45nm, Penryn, etc ).
Asus was one of the very first companies to introduce their P35 based motherboards, like the P5K & P5K Deluxe for DDR-2 memory, and the P5K3 Deluxe for DDR-3 memory.
We were tempted to try out the new 'spanking' DDR-3 memories, so we managed to obtain a P5K3 Deluxe board fast, and started testing it thoroughly.
Our very first DDR-3 memories were giving us some problems and low performance with the board, so we had to wait a bit to obtain some new cool DDR-3 modules to test the board right.
Well, here we are today, with all the necessary testing done and results, looking to show & tell you everything about this motherboard.

Get yourself a drink ( flaming lamborghini anyone ? :-p ) and sit tight, and enjoy the review!

Let the DDR-3 adventures begin!
