    why would companies release boards now that don't support conroe. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

    As far as I know FischoderAal contacted Abit and they told him that the AW8D won't support conroe...

    I asked Abit PR... and they told me that only the AW9D Max would do so...

    sorry if I'm wrong, but I can only tell what Abit told me, so... where did you get your information from? directly from Abit?

    €: sry, haven't read postings above me. Dave_Def was right. but I'm not allowed to post the eMail...

    What do you mean about ''fully support''??
    The revised 975X based Motherboards doesn't support Conroe??

    Official info from Abit

    No support of Conroe with Abit AW8 and AW8-MAX

    Conroe will be supported on AW9 that will be released in the same period of conroe.
