  • P3B-F Upgrade Question

    Decided to retire my venerable ASUS P2B-LS for a P3B-F MB. Going to unsolder the Adaptec 7890 chipset and put it in the P3B-F....

    Actually going to stick the MB in my case with an Adaptec 2940U2W card and 3Com 905B-TX NIC, transfer the remaining cards and hope it is as trouble free as the 'LS was.

    My question is which slots share? A search here turned up little, so if I recall correctly, PCI 1 shares with AGP, PCI 2 is seperate, PCI 3 & 5 and 4 & 6 share. Can't remember which slots USB shares though and I will need it.

    Any direction would be better than trial and retrial.

    3&6 share, 4&5&USB share.

    it's a shame to lose a great board like the p2b-s. It's the only thing that would make the p3b better.

      Thanks moreau. Looks like I had it all wrong.

      It is a great board, but the P3B-F will allow for more processor upgrade.
