Maybe I'm just talking out of my ass. It's been a while. :P
It appears that JNCS.com has the board for $248. They advertise that
it supports core-duo2 when it is released.

I think I might call and complain
DHL ground on outpost.com is never more than $10
Does anyone know if newegg has 304 in stock now?
Got mine at fry's (CA) they let me open the box :) & I looked for the 304
you dont need to open it - just look on the package barcode/product code - last 3 digits state 302, 303, or 304
Hello everyone. My first post here. It's a nice board. I have one myself and filled it to capacity performance wise and can't even get OS loaded! I've tried everything including throwing the kitchen sink at it, but it lock completely up whilst installing devices @ 35mins. I'm not happy at all. I placed a Pentium D 960 3.6ghz it. A fair bit of reading in here does not reveal this issue. Strangely, it loads windows with an incompatable 3.2ghz Celeron? All componants are of very high grade and tested as not being at fault. System is running stock standard except for a recent bios update to attempt to resolve the problem. My new comp is a dud it would seem :-( Intel site says it is compatable with the 3.6ghz Pentium D. Grrr! It's now sitting in the shop under warrenty, but they don't even know whats wrong. So what do they send back? Here it is anyway... in all it's brand new broken glory...
- Intel BOXD975XBXLKR mobo
- Intel Pentium D 960, 3.6ghz
- Zalman CNPS9500 LED Copper Flower Heatsink
- 2 matched pairs of Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400 800mhz
- 2 400gb Western Digital Caviar SATA2 16mb cache Hd's in raid0
- BFG 7900 GTX OC 512mb Graphics Card
- Thermaltake 680w W0049 Purepower PSU
- 2 Sony DVD-RAM DRU-820A Drives
- Whatever Floppy Drive
- Thermaltake Kandalf aluminium case
- LG 1980Q 19" High Definition LCD Monitor
- LG L1750SQ LCD Monitor
- MS Laser 6000 Keyboard/Mouse
- Yamaha Digital Audio
Thanks Intel for nothing!
Well, if it works perfect with another CPU then the most likely culprit would be the 3.6 CPU. Does that Pentium D 960 work perfect in another board?
i am totally down for buying one of these boards... is the deal still good? It looks like i have to wait for 9 other people to want one?
I'll have one if they work and can get a conroe for it

And the corsair has to be set at 5-5-5-12 any faster it will never start.
I have the D 965 multi set at 16 v 1.375 all is good. small problem with sil 3114 and drives. Overall very fast so far :)
Frag tamer just found this one going to give it a try.

So whats the status of this?
Here in india i cant find a single board thats gona support the conroe, not even 975XBX rev 304 and when i talked with local distries its not gona be here for atleast 1 more month.
I am building a system now and no mobo for the same( the one that will support conroe). must have 2 rigs up and running withing next 10-15 days and was planning 1 to be intel with conroe upgrade option for future.
grrrr, sucks.... :(
if it's still open i'd be interested
I have teamed up with Hassan here on XtremeSystems to *FINALLY* provide you all with revision 304 D975XBX motherboards - here is the new official pre-order thread:

*there is a TWO-WEEK DELAY ON THESE BOARDS FROM INTEL*
that is a great priceQuote:

just no pretty box as far as i'm concerned - still comes with most (if not all) of the accessories
even if it was just the board itself, it would still be a great dealQuote:
