HI I wanted to know if this board would be good for gaming? It says ws for workstation. The reason I like this board is because the 4 pcie express 16.....i want tri sli and a dedicated physx card. This mobo would work for that.

Hello and welcome to the forums :)
Well we don't have a gaming motherboard really since motherboard barely makes a difference in gaming,so if it says WS,it doesn't mean its not made for gaming.
Here is a review of it,seems a good board:

Yes that would make a good gaming machine.

Thanks a lot for the help, Maziar the review you showed is the not the smae mobo. I was looking at the p5n64. You had posted the link for the the p5e64. How do you think this would work for tri sli and a lil overclocking of my cpu?

thanks again

Sorry,u are right :D well i didn't find any reviews for this board but judging from specs it looks a great board,it has a good cooling solution and has 4 PCI-E 16x slot(16x 16x 16x 8x) so it supports 3-way SLI @ 16x speed which is good,overall it looks a great board but unfortunately i didn't find any reviews from the web

I've got the Asus p5N64 ws motherboard specifically for gaming, especially running Flight simulator x. The advantage of this board is you have three pcie ver 2 slots running at 16 x speed and one pci-1 slot. The way I filled it was with 3 MSI 8800 ultra with a core speed of 660 mhz (Fastest I have found as of this date) and one physx pci-1 card so it should be a fast machine. For the cpu I have a intel 3.0 6850 chip and 4 gigs of 1333 mhz memory

I haven't found my Flight Sim X to install and see how it work but it run flight sim 2004 maxed out and every other game I have run I have been able to max out the setting and it runs smooth as glass. I also have a saitek X52 controller, rail driver for Train Sim and a mini usb steering wheel made by Oregon scientific for racing.

This is exactly the same chipset as used by the Asus Striker 790i ultra Extreme so my guess is the performance is the same or slightly better. There are a few more features to this motherboard such as wi-fi, but the i/o back plate doesn't light up and the digital readout gives less information
