Jetway uses only four of the six PCI Express pathways supplied by Intel’s ICH10 southbridge, connecting two onboard controllers and two PCI Express x1 slots. Also notice that the southbridge itself is the non-RAID version.
Dual eSATA ports and a CLR_CMOS button separate the HI04 port panel from other sub-$150 motherboards. Rear panel digital audio connectors are matched only by ASRock.
JMicron’s JMB363 provides the single Ultra ATA and dual eSATA ports, using PCI Express for optimal bandwidth.
A Realtek RTL8111C PCI Express-to-Gigabit Ethernet controller provides the HI04 with modern network speeds.
Realtek’s ALC888 audio codec is rated at 97db signal-to-noise ratio, and provides eight analog outputs (7.1 surround) for speakers plus a separate 2-channel sound stream for headphones.

Wait, i think i missed the conclusion... what was the conclusion.....or am i just silly !?
Great review any who, i have been waiting for one of these. I would say go for the P5Q Deluxe!!!!!!!!11
the old E6xx CPU is not good enough to explore the FSB of the new P45 chipset. i seen better review then this in term of hardware. there should be at least a dual core 45nm processor and a 45nm quad processor.
sigh....tom's been lazy with hardware update!
I assume it is a mistake that says the P45 platinum from MSI has an X48 chipset?
so waht about a decent conclusion something like, are these boarfds worth the extra cash over a P35 chipset variant, everything tells me they offer little incentive over the P35, thoughts anyone?
Hello?
Uhm .. 45nm!?
I agree, test with a better (new) CPU(s) 45nm Dual/Quad.
That would be really interesting. This probably means alot to someone that owns the E6xx series CPU which i doubt someone buy if they buy a P45 board.
Methinks Tom has a bit of biassed attitude favouring Asus tbh
