Asus introduced the Main Station Motherboard Series and the P5WDG2-WS model based on the Intel 975X chipset supporting Pentium D and Pentium Extreme Edition 955 dual-core processors. The novelty is meant for high-end computers and workstations.
The board has two PCI Express x16 capable of ATI CrossFire dual-graphics card function and native dual-channel DDR2-800 support up to 8GB. The P5WDG2-W2 comes equipped with two PCI-X slots, two PCI slots, two IEEE 1394a ports, eight USB 2.0 ports and eight Serial ATA-II 3Gb/s ports for establishing two sets of RAID.
The novelty also features the proprietary Stack Cool 2 fanless cooling solution. ASUS claims it effectively transfers heat generated by the critical components to the other side of the specially designed PCB for effective heat dissipation. And that the result is a temperature decrease of up to 20 degrees Celsius.
