This is a great board for those seeking a workstation class motherboard that has multiple-monitor support. Stability and options are the P5W64 WS Pro's stand-out features. The lack of any PCI-X slots for 32-Bit SCSI may be daunting to those wanting to do video editing, but with SATA 2 at only a bit slower than the ultimate SCSI transfer rates available it's not much of a sacrifice. Not the fastest ship in the ASUS fleet, but it does have many things to attract a variety of users.

The P5W64 WS Professional from Asus can be thought of as an extremely high-end solution for the workstation professional, enthusiast or power user. The key feature this board offers over all other 975X chipset-based boards on the market currently, is its integration of the IDT 24 lane PCI Express chip in the design. This switch offers an additional 8 lanes of connectivity in a full length X16 slot, beyond the 22 lanes offered in the 975X chipset. Asus also populated these connections with four full-length X16 style slot connectors, so the potential for running up to four graphics cards is there. However, we'd offer that there is a better use for this extra available bandwidth and connectivity.

Evolving the ASUS P5W series of mainboards to what we presume is its pinnacle, the P5W64 WS Pro seems to be almost the perfect mainboard for the power-hungry high-end PC user that wants to run Core 2 Duo or upcoming quad-core 'Kentsfield' processors.
