Projectpc.org will test that motherboard with a Intel 965EE soon.

too bad it not supports Conroe... looks interesting though ;)

why would companies release boards now that don't support conroe. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

As far as I know FischoderAal contacted Abit and they told him that the AW8D won't support conroe...

I asked Abit PR... and they told me that only the AW9D Max would do so...

sorry if I'm wrong, but I can only tell what Abit told me, so... where did you get your information from? directly from Abit?

€: sry, haven't read postings above me. Dave_Def was right. but I'm not allowed to post the eMail...

What do you mean about ''fully support''??
The revised 975X based Motherboards doesn't support Conroe??

:confused:

Official info from Abit

No support of Conroe with Abit AW8 and AW8-MAX

Conroe will be supported on AW9 that will be released in the same period of conroe.
