They might consider doing Pre Order on Conroe if there is enough people that ask for it.

Know when they would be avaliable if they did pre-orders?

[Vric]

Know when they would be avaliable if they did pre-orders?
No Clue.. They just said once they will get confirmation from the supplier, they will put it in Pre-Order.. like they did with AM2 CPU last month.

But I expect to see Core 2 board in the next 2-3 weeks on this site.

[Shpoon]

Hmm, if you see any, mind throwing me a PM? I suck at keeping on top of procuct updates...

[^don.k's^]

NERDerlands, I love that one ;)

[vanovich]

any nforce 5 sli anywherer?

[MrGarrison]

Komplett (and most other Eurpean stores I believe) use the more logical ISO 8601 date system (YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss) so it's June, not August or whatever you were thinking.

[Nazu]

This (http://www.alternate.de) shop in German has Asus P5B Dlx and P5W DH Dlx boards at their site but doesn't know when they have it at stock.

[Sumanji]

Still no details on MSI P965 Platinum though?! I can't even find a pic! I can only find pics/details of the P965 Neo (which has a pretty crappy layout...!).

Cheers,

Suman

[Anjelous]

Man i just wanna know when i can get the new Abit Board. Not to mention i wonder how long us here in Canada are gunna have to wait for it *cries* Man tech takes forever to get here sometimes, i have these CPU's sitting here and i can't even use them, its depressing!

[phobos]

We are currently planning a mass order for the P5W DH in Germany and most resellers expect the boards around June 20 - June 23.

[don_vercetti]

That's pretty good. Some person was trying to tell me that no conroe boards would be around until 23rd July.

Be interesting to see if Komplett gets them in stock today or not..

[phobos]

Be interesting to see if Komplett gets them in stock today or not..

I believe not ;)

[don_vercetti]

When would you reckon then? You seem to be a person with quite an educated guess. ;)

[phobos]

As I wrote above, most resellers expect them around June 20 - 23 and I don't expect them any earlier. I rather expect them later.

Hell, I am waiting for this board cuz I don't have a desktop PC right now and when I have to wait for a piece of hardware it usually takes forever ;).

[don_vercetti]

I wasn't sure if what you said applied to just the Asus board, or all boards.

[phobos]

My bad, I was talking about the Asus ;)

[Sumanji]

I'm torn between the MSI and the Asus... they're both so uber! :slobber:

[ReD.SkY]

am i so far out of the loop that conroe CPU's have been released?

[don_vercetti]

no, but conroe MB's are in the pipeline. Several of us are without systems and waiting for Conroe, and i guess it would be nice to get a MB and a Pentium D 805 now, and then when conroe comes out we can update it.

That's exactly what I'm planning to do ;)

[Max Tractor]

I am tempted to go for the MSI, but can find very little info on it, a better picture here http://www.madshrimps.be/printart.php?articID=459

looks like 0B rev


notice there are 2 less caps under the card and 1 above slot compared to this one http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=101408&page=10

[don_vercetti]

Doesn't look too bad, although the IDE port is placed in exactly the wrong place for a normal optical drives location.

[Max Tractor]

The IDE is alright for me as I have my motherboard tray cut to allow it to feed out the back, my floppy connector is in almost the same place on my epox

[Max Tractor]

the Neo doesn't look very good :( 4 * SATA2 oO x1 not useable when using Dual Slot VGA?

wtf?!

[Anjelous]

I'm staying away from MSI right now, the last 2 boards i have had from them were complete garbage. I want some reviews before i start dropping money for a MSI, so far i am leaning towards the new Abit Max Board or the Asus.

[Sumanji]

Oh dear :( which boards where they out of interest? The 975X Platy is clocking like a beast though :eek:

Check this out guys:

Right now is a good time to be in the industry, especially as an enthusiast and gamer. Intel are fighting back against AMD after some years of tough times as AMD become stronger and stronger and grew their market share against Intel.

Now things are looking very good for Intel – they have the fastest desktop PC processor in the world just waiting to let it loose and a great chipset platform in the Intel 965P and nVidia nForce 5 series with ATI lurking around in the background with their RD600 chipset which should be launched around September 2006, apparently the same time as Intel will release their new Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme processors into the market.

do you think the prices will be the same here in Germany? :wave:

btw, as I read Holland :D I remembered something I saw on a T-Shirt in Amsterdam ^^

"Good boys go to heaven - bad boys go to Amsterdam" :D

[Extera]

I don't know, how much VAT are u paying in gemany?
here in holland it's 19%
Think the price whitout VAT is the same

Btw. The best party's are in Rotterdam. :banana:

[phobos]

It's still 16% but they'll raise it to 19% next year :(.

You're not talking 'bout your Rotterdam hardcore stuff are you?

so July 5th looks like

thats bad news.
@Max Tractor: the prices on the site I gave are VAT inc.

offtopic: No, I have to say, the best hardcore party's are in germany (turbinehallen)

[Sumanji]

If I order a 975X Platinum now, it probably won't be a Rev 2.B like the one coolaler has right? (And therefore not Conroe compatible I guess :().

I don't know wether the 2.B is available at all! but if it is, the chance of getting 2.B is very low...

typical for the netherland people. they love hardcore/techno and stuff. in Germany many people prefer Metal :toast: (but still, to many hip hopers out here :( - I live near to the the "Ruhrgebiet", maybe to near...)

[phobos]

OT:

offtopic: No, I have to say, the best hardcore party's are in germany (turbinehallen)

I personally prefer Metal ;). Of course I know the "Turbinenhalle" but that's not my stuff.
I have to disagree with FischOderAal regarding the German preferences in terms of music. There are tons of techno freaks, at least where I lived originally (10 mins away from enschede, I love your laws :) and pretty close to the metal stronghold Essen) and trillions of hip hop ( and Tokio Hotel-Style for all Germans who know them ;) ) guys where I live now.

hehe :D I didn't say "most" I said "many" ;) because it seems like in the Netherlands nearly everyone listens to Techno/Hardcore :D

and I know that mostly the music taste is blurred. I think the numbers nearly equal over all. but in my area it's mostly Metal and Hip Hop ( :puke: ).

I was stationed at the Panzer Kasern from Jan 1981 to March 1985. Even then it was Techno and Disco LOL! Will be there for the Stuttgarter Folks Fest this year.

That _seems_ to be true ;)

[QUOTE=Donnie27]Will be there for the Stuttgarter Folks Fest this year.
See you there buddy ;)

That's funny, I actually talked to a guy at the LAX airport and he said he wanted to come to Germay really bad someday, only for the Stuttgarter Volksfest ;). Seems to be pretty well know overseas.

Ok, it's going wayyyy OT now. I guess we better not hijack this thread and go BTT ;)
