Thx for all the info ost_2005!

Are there more people that want me to remove all the P965/G965/Q965 boards?

I think that you can create a new thread that specifically talk about 965 series.And add this link in this thread.:D

775Twins-HDTV R2.0 is available in my country.

And asrock all MBs that support Conroe are printed "Conroe" on the PCBs so you can easily know if the MBs support conore or not.

xs is definitely not dead, infact its probably as active as ever and when conroe officially hits and k8l comes it will only be more so.

Get your post count up (please don't spam though) to 100. You will then have access to the For Sale section, I can say with fair certainty that you probably will see a fair share of Conroes for good prices several weeks before the release. They will be Engineering Samples though

Alright, thanks for the advice. However, I'll most likely rather buy retail, since I don't know how this'll turn out...

*crosses fingers I hope the DFI boards can do a high FSB....

I know ht release date is 1.5 months away..I was just worried about when the common man can get one ;)

Maybe I'll just sit and wait for actual reviews in the next few weeks to see how it turns out.

Hi.

The Gigabyte GA-965P-DS4 is listed now. Nice and clean layout with heatpipe chipset cooling. Could be my favourite...

Found another ECS board: PX1 with P965 chipset. Link

I think this MB is better than ASUS P965 and Cheaper!

Look great.

Better lay out.

And it should be cheaper than ASUS P5B deluxe a few bucks.

I also like the looks of that Gigabyte board. (especially the
Heatpipe arrangement).

Anyone venture a guess as to how Gigabyte has been relative to Asus???

I'm actually surprised that DFI isn't releasing an LP 965 based board.

DFI told me before 965/975 were not qualified for LP MB.:nono:

I dont know exactly.

But you know P965 doesn`t support CrossFire(8x+8x mode)

and 975x performance is not good enough ,either.

Mass Production of 975X in June, RD600/SLI in August. Hopefully that means we will get them in those same months.

RD600 is supposed to support DDR3 (source), as you can see, the dfi roadmap shows DDR2, so I am wondering if DDR2 and DDR3 are implemented on the chipset.
I'm sure DFI will go DDR3 when it makes sense (ie the performance is there and the pricing/availability)

Geil is showing off a DDR3 sample at Computex in June. I say we see it by the end of the year, but that is just an educated personal guess.

This is gonna be fun :)

Seems to be a question as to weather or not DDR2 and DDR3 are pin capatable

Look at ATi RD600 spec.

You will agree with me.

975x sucks.

Those GigaByte and ECS boards are added. I also found some info about the 975X Platinum on the MSI site. They say there are 2 version, the first is the normal version, the other is the Platinum H with PCB v2.0 but I can't find if it supports Conroe, but I guess it does :)

And another thing I would like too add, but I don't know if it's a good idea, is the highest FSB reached per board. It is XtremeSystems right? :D

Can someone in the know, confirm if the Asus P5WD2-E rev1.03 supports conroe or not ?
If possible, please provide link. :)
