does anyone know why would the ASUS P5ND2 SLi edition motherboard wouldnt run conroe?

Whats the difference from the P5N32 SLi edition that makes it compatible and mine not?

http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l...58&modelmenu=1 is a link to my motherboard.

@X-S!D3: in another month (give or take a few days), and costs would prolly be €220+ (if not €250+).

@AAmeeting: the power regulating area differs so much from netburst only boards that it had to be redesigned.

I saw Conroe working on the 890 Pro chipset in another thread. Price is right, it has decent OC controls and it supports DDR or DDR2, but the board is single channel.

Update:
Jetway has released an matx P4M9MP using the VIA P4M890 chipset
http://www.jetwaycomputer.com/spec/P4M9MP.pdf

they have also added 965G and p965P ATX boards to the us website

EATX = 6+ slots wide
ATX = <=6 slots wide
micro = 3 slots wide
flex = 2 slots wide
miniITX = 1 slot wide
nanoITX = 0 slots wide, 1 mini-PCI, integrated everything, SO-DIMM

So 2 slots on the wrong side of the board I would call flexBTX. ;)

Most stable board?

I would like to build a workstation, that has to be really, really reliable. Unfortunately, I cannot afford Woodcrest.

So I am thinking of an E6700 with 4 x 2 GB DDR-557 ECC RAM (8GB total) from MDT. I will not play games or do video editing, so a XFX 6200TC with a GeForce 6200 TC will be more than enough. The case will be a Stacker 810 with three intaking and two exhausting 120mm fans for decent cooling.

For the 8 GB of ECC RAM there only seem to be the Asus P5W Boards or the Bad Axe Intel D975XBXKLKR. I do not like the Asus Deluxe, because I do not want WLAN. But the Premium or the WS would be fine.

Do you know any other boards, which can take 4 x 2 GB ECC?

Can anybody already give some estimates, which one could be the most reliable board? I do not want to oc, but it has to be stable and reliable.

Asus advertises their superior thermal design. Is the chipset really cooler than on the bad axe? If true, the P5W might last longer?

There was a thread about dying Bad Axes and it was suggested that there might be a problem with the combination with a Thermaltake Big Typhoon (pins a getting contact with the backplane).

If I do not want to overclock, is it safer to use the Intel stock fan, or to use a TBT, which would cool better, but the boards may not be designed with the TBT in mind?
