i have been thru a lot of reviews. i have yet to read a review were one of these works with a dvd-r/rw. Im not going to spend $20 from newegg to have it not work and then refund money back. Then im out shipping to them plus restocking fees. Till i see a hard review from in ocf/xs/ect im not getting one. I would rather lose a pci slot and keep my pioneer dvd-r/rw.

Never heard converters dont work.
I've had my NEC DVD Burner converted for close to a year now with out a hitch. I hate IDE cables cluttering up my case.

i shall show you the light my son,
ABIT LG-81
last time i looked price is around $129.

, nah I ment replacing my current mATX board with a ATX 965 board.

Just a quick update here.


Epox Unveils Six More Conroe Compatible Motherboards.


.....

[uclajd]

This is what I'll definitely be looking into: P5B Deluxe - P965 - ATX.

8 phase power, CPR.....ASUS always comes up with the best stuff.

Com'on! DDR for Conroe? What a non-sense.

Com'on! A non-Intel Core Logic for Conroe? Completely absurd.

What's next? nForce 5xx for Conroe? You people never learn.

Not everyone has an unlimited budget, brother.

Some people have spen7 a lot of money on GPUs and RAM the past few years. New top-of-the-line GPU and DDR2 could run over <$800.

Besides, I'd like to see how some supra-low DDR1 timings would do on SuperPi with Conroe before we completely poo-poo the idea.

[Skyline GT-R]

Thx Metroid, added them

Someone sticky this thread.

And clean out some of the old stickies, while you're at it

Intel section is going ALL OUT CONROE very shortly...

[Tasselhof]

Look at ATi RD600 spec.

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=101642

You will agree with me.

975x sucks.

No way...
In async memory it sucks, and in other's - near the same perfomance
http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=2657

Interesting, what whould be OC higher - new 975x or P965 mobo's...

Too early version of RD600 to be real preformance.

[Andypro1]

Hmm. Is it just me, or does it look like the ASus P5B Deluxe has 2 PCIe x16 slots?
I thought the 965 chipset didn't allow for that.

It looks like a sweet board. 8 phase power, heatpipe dealie, plenty of PCI, DDR2-800 support, and it's ASus! This may be my Core 2 Duo board of choice.

[WildEye]

I don't think the board is wired for 2x16 electrically. Just as the Badaxe has 3 x 16 slots, but first is wired for 16, second for 8 and the last is wired for 4...

[codylawyer]

Has there been any prices announced and if not does any one know when they will be?

Looks like I'll be taking my chances with ATI this time.

P5WDG2-WS Pro Conroe Support Confirmed (with pretty copper heatsinks )

Looks like we wont be seeing updates of the normal P5WDG2-WS or P5WD2-E after all Just the P5WDG2-WS Pro and the P5W DH

DFI 975X/G shot:

[charlie]

lol... this is just great. I'm even going to upgrade my office rig which does nothing but Quickbooks, UPS and web access to Conroe. I want to reward Intel for being so PWNEROUS.

[g.l.amour]

the cooling on the asus NB sure looks alot beefier than the ones on the DFI's; i wonder if that would result in different max fsb's

[uclajd]

How nice that there are numerous mATX boards already. It will make my recent Aspire X-Qpack one kick-ass rig.



I was going to watercool it, might even add a peltier for some silent sub-zero action.

Fun stuff.

[Haltech]

Just make sure to change out the PSU in that Aspire. Its kind of a pile.

[SepheronX]

I dont know if this was already posted, but an SLI or Crossfire mobo that is uatx? When conroe is released, im gonna make a small form factor PC and I want either crossfire (recomended) or sli. I know only EVGA made a small form factor SLI board.

thanks.
