ASUS Claims P4P800 and P4C800 Mainboards to Be Prescott Compatible.

But Removes the Written Statement from its Web-Site

Right after Gigabyte talked on Prescott support by their mainboards powered by Intel’s “Ensure '03 Platforms are Prescott-Ready” Springdale and Canterwood chipsets, a person from ASUSTeK Computer told us that the company’s P4P800 and P4C800 mainboards are also going to be fully-compatible with Intel Prescott CPUs due to be launched later this year.

“Surely ASUS P4P800 and P4C800 mainboards support the Prescott processors. Keep in mind that ASUS develops and builds mainboards for Intel”, an unnamed ASUS representative said.

“I think everything is under control and has been for some time now. No one will forgive Intel such incompatibility after its pretty recent transition from Socket 423 to Socket 478. It is very unlikely they will go the same road again soon”, he added.

Meanwhile ASUS removed the written claim about Prescott support by P4P800 and P4C800 from its web-site here and here.

We now are not sure who to believe. We think that nearly everything depends on Intel itself at the moment.

Check Asus-N.America web site - believe they still make the Prescott support claim - funny, I thought N.America was somewhere on the globe ...
Oh well.

Isn't it time for "official" statements on letterheads and web sites from Asus and other mainboard manufacturers - stating, for the record, Prescott support or not. It's time.

Isn't it time for Intel to officially put out a list of Prescott compatable mainboards. I think so. They have finished engineering samples - they can test now and report.

They (Asus) can take off the message from their web site if they dare to, unfortunately for them, the claim for the P4C800 Deluxe "Platforms Are Prescott Ready" is clearly written in the manual as a tec-spec of the board. So, if there is a Prescott during the next quarter that would not "fit" on my mainboard, this one will be out of specs and returned! We shall see some reverberations when Asus and other manufacturers are going to challenge Intel when their boards are having a return ticket!

Wait and see!
