Final clarification regarding Conroe MB support

[crackhead2k]

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)

[Achill3uS]

So then if it's possible to mod a 10.1 to use 6.25mV it would work?

no answer?

[Tasselhof]

crackhead2k, dont worry about FSB1333, at 1:1 multiplier its just ddr2-666
2x multiply for ram, 4x for system bus

[Botijo]

Take a look to ASrock 775Twins Revision 2, cheap board that suports Conroe too.

[freecableguy]

You might want to add "IMO" to your statements....

Correction #1, but who's counting

Not a correction, I'll give you the info when I'm ready to....

I don't mean any harm but the term PWM buck controller sound straight up made up! I am not saying that FCG made it up however, in all fairness this term does not come off as professional and it doesn't sound like something an electrician/engineer would use. Just my 2 coppers worth...that's all!

it is real and it is a term for a specific type of PWM Controller.

the attached link is for the ADP3181 Buck controller and it is used on the Asus P5WD2 premium Motherboards:

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 ??...

[JoeBar]

No. We're still waiting for a new revision that will support conroe.

[LyP0]

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...

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

Ave,

Don't know if this the right place. Was going to start a new thread, then i saw this pile-up and thought maybe this is a better place.

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.

Ave,

I've read about the P5B & P5B Deluxe Motherboards at the CEBIT 2006. In fact the P5B Deluxe has absolutely everything i could need in a motherboard and more! Anyone know when it's supposed to be due out? Prices?
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

[ozz]

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?

[NinjaZX6R]

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

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

Seeing all the tests you have done. I must say more than 3, I should say 4 times faster.

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.

Thanks for sharing with us..

Performance is greater than 70%? Are we just talking pi here?

I'm just saying performance overall is greater than 70%. Intel says is just 40%.

[Mad'n'OCed]

Gotta love Intel... Compatability between boards and CPUs take all the time and energy you have to completely keep track of it...

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?

Your all listening to a guy who misspelled intel in his system specs.

[vapb400]

Your all listening to a guy who misspelled intel in his system specs.

because a simple misspelling makes all this information void. Great logic.

*edit*
i dont see a misspelling?

[Remorfer]

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

Your all listening to a guy who misspelled intel in his system specs.

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

[Anemone]

I've seen some tests that begin to show that one of the weaknesses of Conroe is multitasking. It appeared that both the P4 and the A64 did better generally than Conroe. Now that's not going to break the deal for me, nor for most here, but it will be interesting to see if more testing bears it out as true or not.

Food for thought
