No big surprises since they are all based on the latest chipsets from Intel. It was known that most of them could work with the new FSB, without official support by Intel. Kudos to Asus for providing it, when they weren't obligated to.
Here's hoping for others to follow.
Support for other boards is not out of the question, since P965 chipsets are capable of surpassing this kind of FSB without much trouble. The P5B Deluxe, for example, is starting to become a legend among Intel 775 users - the new support of 45nm CPUs has given a new life to the board.
At the same time, 1600MHz FSB for P965 boards, and the like, while possible for some, shouldn't come around due to the huge amount of boards that Asus would have to certify. The 1333MHz FSB support for that generation of boards was already a gift.
