Done and very much looking forward to being able to upgrade finally.

Did you get confirmation on which version you will be able to get?Originally Posted by Sneaky
I would need the extra SATA ports...
Here's what I know (hope this helps locate the right boards):
Model: Intel D975XBX
Part#: D27094-304
PCN 106056-00

Looking to upgrade my cuv4x/733mhz now looks to be a good time.
I have sent an email to sneaky.
BLKD975XBXLKR = 10 pack of D27094
BOXD975XBXLKR = retail box of D27094
These are the models with the 8 SATA connectors (4xSATA2, 4xSATA-150).
If I have spread misinformation please correct me.

10-Pack Product Codes
BLKD975XBXLKR
KD975XBXLKRPAK10
It seems they are different box codes for the same product.
Maybe Intel likes to confuse their customers?
So according to this page both of those seem to have the 8 SATA ports.
yeah, that seems to be the most recent document as well
i'll double check on this with the guy at the channel though

BIOS 0618 is needed to support the 965XE....wonder if this is the "future" processor support. I still have a hard time believing that 10 resistors and 2 capacitors is all that is needed to support Conroe. I have a funny feeling that we're all going to get these rev 304 boards with still no Conroe support. I think this rev is nothing different than the rev 302 with just a few small changes. Big deal. The final Conroe compatability will come from yet another new BIOS...I think.

freecableguy: The 304 revision DOES support Conroe and the modifications are essential to enabling this.
the only modification that I can possibly see that needs to be done is coupling the VIDSEL (pin 40) to VCC/EN (pin 1) to select to VRM 11 VID table over the VRM 10.x table. I'm going to do this when I go home and see what happens.Originally Posted by Thorburn

Yes, processor microcode must be included in any bios to work with that processor.
Intel is supporting this board very well so far with a lot of bios updates to timely fix issues and include new processor support. My bet is Conroe support is not in there yet. If they needed a bios update to include 965ee microcode then it is highly unlikely they put Conroe microcode into the bios just yet.
Being "Conroe ready" and having the actual microcode support in the bios are two different things.

yea

you can add me sneaky.
E-mailed you earlier, count me in
Ok, just to bare with me here. I haven't owned an Intel setup in 4 years
These boards are listed as 1066/800FSB but people are mentioning dropping a 805 in to one of these boards. Can anyone confirm that works?
If thats the case then count me in on getting one.
Last we heard, availability of the rev 304's had not yet been confirmed. Any updates?
check the intel site, saying it support's intel DOriginally Posted by S2M
If I'll get this board, i'm putting a 805 in till conroe 2

805 seems like a nice cpu to hold up with, and put under some extreme cooling to get to know the board's OC options

Only the 800fsb Pentium D's are officially supported.
The 805 is not on the list and is a 533fsb chip. I would not count on the microcode for the processor as being suported in the bios because only 800mhz and higher fsb chips make the list.

hmmm... so now we seem to have a debate as to whether of not this board will support either the 805 or conroe. I know Intel says the rev 304 supports conroe, but there seems to be some doubt about that... I also am planning on the 805 until conroe, and expect that this will be able to set the motherboard to run the 805 until conroe hits.
I hope this can all get straightened out before an ordering deadline of some sort hits...
There is no doubt that Conroe is supported and 805 is not, at least in my mind.Originally Posted by tdenton1138
The ITK cannot add microcode for new processors so it will not help at this time if you get an early Conroe. Early Conroes are likely to be engineering samples so again no need for ITK.
If you get the microcode somehow and are handy with extracting bios modules and adding it in with a hex editor without ruining the checksum then early Conroe is possible on the board. Or getting your hands on an insider bios version that supports Conroe (please share if anyone does). One obviously exists as they demo'd it on the 975xbx already.
The last and least likely scenario is Conroe microcode has been included in the bios already.
