FSB 1333?! Damn!? My Corsair 8500 only does 1068 Max!?!? :(
I wish I can get my hands on one of the those chips!
If you have one sell it on ebay so I can buy it!
Money for you CPU for me no loss ;)
I guess I still have to wait for a mobo still for this one!
So what is it now 5 more months till release? (May 12 06<-Post)
no answer? :slap:Quote:

2x multiply for ram, 4x for system bus
Take a look to ASrock 775Twins Revision 2, cheap board that suports Conroe too. ;)
Not a correction, I'll give you the info when I'm ready to....Quote:

im about to buy an asus P5WDG2-WS to play with a old celeron i've got, but i want to upgrade to conroe asap. Will this motherboard support this processor ? i've scearched the asus site but it keeps giving me a 404 eror.
If this motherboard supports this is there a specific code i should look for or revision ?
anyone ??...
No. We're still waiting for a new revision that will support conroe.
when wil this new revision be released, i am not asking for a specific day but in how many weeks or months
Testing the super pi on my system between 1 M got 43 seconds very bad, so the conroe is double faster than my PC very impress...
OS: Win XP SP2
CPU: Pentium 4 550 3.4 GHz 775LGA
Fan: CNPS9500-AT
Mobo: MS-7046 FSB 200 x 17
Memory: 2560MB DDR2 CLS 3.0
Graphics: Geforce XFX 7900 GT 520/1500

PSU: Tagan TG530-U15 530W ATX2.01 Easycon SLi

actually, Conroe is more than TRIPLE faster than your system at 43secQuote:

I've been waiting for almost a month now, ready to build a new rig, all of the other components decided & ready to purchase... but i'm just waiting for a Motherboard that suits my needs. Which is basically,
- Core 2 Duo Ready
- Crossfire Ready
Thus far i haven't spotted a single motherboard in the market that is ready for both these features. Anyone heard of any motherboards out in the market or releasing soon which support these two features?
I will be building my rig based on the Intel D 930 chip (I won't be purchasing a Core 2 Duo immideately, i'll wait for prices to go down)... but i don't want to replace my motherboard 6 months from now when i decide to get a Core 2 Duo, which is why i want a compatible motherboard now.
Rest of my system looks like this:
- Intel® Pentium® Processor 930 3.0GHz, 800MHz FSB, Socket 775, 2x2MB Cache, Dual Core Retail
- Sunbeamtech SUNNU550-US-BK Nuuo 550 Watt Power Supply (Black) Retail
- G.SKILL 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Dual Channel Kit System Memory - Retail
- Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 300GB 3.5 SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
- GIGABYTE Radeon X1300 GV-RX13256DP-RH Video Card - Retail
- ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler - Retail
- ARCTIC SILVER Ceramique Thermal Compound - Retail
- Pioneer 16X DVD±R DVD Burner With 5X DVD-RAM Read Black ATAPI Model DVR-111D
Just waiting for a Core 2 Duo/Crossfire ready motherboard.

wait i thought asus was coming out with a P5B and P5B deluxe for conroe support.
now they're also doing a revision to the P5WDG2 board.

I'm definately waiting to hear more on that board.
Haven't heard anything about the P5WDG2 Board, but i definately can't afford a $300+ motherboard.
Thanks,
Mickey
quick question, just to confirm what i've read so far; will the new conroe ready motherboards support the current duo processors ie the 9XXs?
I was under the impression that it was going to have a 965x chipset, so it should be cheaper than the p5wd2e. It's all guessing it this point though. I hate it :(Quote:

It will be a great launch day July 23.
Intel said Conroe will be 40% faster than the Pentium D, I disagree if they speak about performance. It must be a overall. Performance is greater than 70%.
Upgrading my computer in July will be a great advancement 4 times or be 400% faster....Not bad.:D
Thanks for sharing with us..
Performance is greater than 70%? Are we just talking pi here?Quote:

that's right ... the only bad thing here i that Mobos manufacturers are a bit too far behind the new CPU ... normally there was a different situation ... the Mobo manufacturer has been jumpin out faster with a support for a forecoming CPU ... am i wrong?Quote:
Gotta love Intel... Compatability between boards and CPUs take all the time and energy you have to completely keep track of it...
Your all listening to a guy who misspelled intel in his system specs.
because a simple misspelling makes all this information void. Great logic.Quote:

Well,
it sure would be nice to see that percentage backed up by some real life figures :)
If you look at the figures posted by anandtech and the firing squad boys, I don't see 70 % for the moment.... And I don't superpi for a living nor for fun :)
It's faster, that's for sure, but it depends on the application, as always....
Hell, the current P4's are faster in some areas, so I sincerely hope the new gen cpu's are faster.
If so, I'll most certainly get one for my audio workstation :)

and you just misspelled "your" so you're a noob.Quote:

Food for thought :)
