MSI... I dunno... but then again Coolaler did well with an MSI.
I think it's best to wait but it is so hard...
I would figure either DFI or ASUS... if ABIT finally has there head on straight they may be a top MB maker for Intel... otherwise it's in the air.
I went to the Hexus forums and talked with the editor about the impressive DFI Lanparty Intel 590 version. It was just a few questions.

If i'm not mistaken, we took these particular shots on a large conference table desk at DFI's headquarters. beside the conference table was a large 'white-board' upon which was interestingly scrawled: - HEXUS r0x0r...Quote:

Gah, they really need some budget boards at $100 price point.
Any news about the Albatron PX975X?
I'm thinking of buying that one.
Thanks metroid! hopefully they will have some results for us when the conroe nda is upQuote:

Hello, first post here. I'm planning on building a new system by the end of this month and I want to build an E6600 based system. In reading the list I found this....
What about it is the OP not sure? That it is Conroe cappable? Approved? or that rev. 1.3 or 1.3G is the one that will work with Conroe?Quote:
P5WD2-E Premium rev 1.3 (not 100% sure) - ATX - Available but not rev 1.03G, rev 1.03G should be available after 20 july
I think I have my heart set on that board so I will be folloing it until the right one is available or I run out of time to wait for it. Not going to overclock, just like the features and stability.
Any way to know what DDR2 will work with that? I mean, can you assume certain RAM Modules that work with the early versions will work with the Conroe version? I'd like to start shopping for a good deal on DDR2 800. Everything else is purchased but the MOBO, CPU, and RAM
Thanks!

The new lowest price for a Asus P5W DH Deluxe in Canada that I can find is $269.99 CND
Which seems pretty damn low if you ask me!
Still no word on a possible RD600 release date? I need to make a decision whether or not to grab a P5W DH while they're still available or keep waiting pretty soon.
Quick question with the ASRock boards:
The boards with an AGP slot--are they actually full speed AGP slots? Or are they something similar to the AGI Express slots? (PCIE 1X or 4X slot "married" to an AGP slot). I ask because people who have had ASRock boards with these "imitation" AGP slots report slow downs of 20-25%.
And they also have C2D preorder (which I preordered last Friday)Quote:

So it come to $359CND :p:
I just want the best overclocking board that doesnt support SLI or Xfire
i just want to use only 1 graphics card.
Im willing to wait till the end of sept for the right mobo
i want a Mobo which is overclockable and is upthere in terms of overclockabilty with top level asus, dfi mobos.
Nice pictures of most of the boards

Very expensive....
Same for the DFI Infinity
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...anufacture=DFI
Insane price for Infinity board...
ouch, if DQ6 is about 250 USD and DS3 is 143. The DS4 will probably come in bettween 175-200 :(.
Wha?!? more for a 965 than a DFI 975X???!Quote:

Can anyone help ??? :confused:
I have now swapped over CPU's 16 times and I am now convinced this Conroe is dead
you should start a new thread for your problem.
@ NCIX:
ASUS P5B: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...nufacture=ASUS
(pre-order)
ASUS P5B deluxe:
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...nufacture=ASUS
(pre-order)
Gigabyte 965P-DQ6:
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...cture=Gigabyte
(available 2-5 days)
They are pricey :(
Wow, that better be the exception. I'm not paying $180 for a vanilla 965 board. I'm assuming they are getting a 15-20% premium for the preorder, ~150ish sounds 10x more believable.
P5B Deluxe higher priced tha P5W DH... VERY funny...
Edit: Anyway, all C2D motherboard on NCIX are overpriced. the P5W DH is $344 while you can get it at $269 in other canadian store..
So I expect the P5B to be $159-$169 and the Deluxe $209-$219.
