Does anyone know when to expect the P965 stepping c2 to hit the street? Specifically interested in the Gigabyte DQ6 and the Asus P5B Deluxe. Anyone gotten one of these boards in last few days?

Anandtech takes one for a spin, and supposedly, there aren't going to be the improvements that people were hoping for. Keep in mind that a lot of this is still speculation though, as nobody was very cooperative with AT regarding changes, etc.

That's because Anand know jackarse about the sub-timings which is extremly important to make those 965P (C1&C2) fly really high.
On a right combination and active cooling on the MCH w/ maxed out voltage it's 580-600Mhz FSB for C2.Have you been following the guys on XS? They are getting ~610FSB, but the performance is poor compared to much lower clocking. Must be due to the loose timings needed to run @ over 600MHz. :?
