    Any boards that were built from the ground up for conroe? Seems all the boards I find are 775 with slapped on support?

    I'm making a couple posts before I choose my motherboard and keeping them separate so they stay on task.

    Thanks.

    The Intel 956 chipset was built with Core 2 Duo in mind. The Intel 975 chipset was modified to include Core 2 Duo support.

    Sounds like others are saying no to the 975.

    Also, I don't mind keeping it all in one if people here all want to do that but history shows that if you dilute your question into multiple parts it gets lost along the way. Actually most threads get lost along the way or hijacked with just 1 question. :eek:

    If you ask 2 you end up having to restate it a few times as 1 will get answered and people will continue a thought on that specific part of your question and the thread is officially watered down.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Thanks man, I have looked at that one but the bios limits fsb and voltage a bit. It does look like a good moderate o/c board. I'm hoping the p5b-e plus isn't too expensive. Maybe that will be the ticket.

    Why? there faster than a 965 sounds like some ignorance to me

    the p5b has quite a few difference's, its not to be confused with the deluxe no where near the over clocking tweaking options in the bios and also does not have asus 8phase power as the deluxe it is what you payed for a budget core2 duo board, the gigabyte ds3 would be a better choice than the p5b non dlx :)

    My Gigabyte DS3 was made for core 2 duo enough for my needs, for sure. Runnin e6400 @ 3.68 GHz, 916 MHz 2 gig corsair 4,4,3,9. :bigsmile:
    If money means anything, I'd go Gigabyte DS3, if not, I'd go P5B Deluxe or wait til RD600 drops.
    Oh, and you're gonna love that core 2 duo. Intel has COMPLETELY redeemed itself, and then some.

    No options to o/c in the bios? I don't think that is the correct answer.

    :nerd:

    I'm leanign towards the ds3. Do you mind telling me what model corsair you are using? I'm hearing the ds3 can be quite picky on ram.

    afraid it is m8

    you have asus's auto o/c but that sucks some serious ass

    memory voltage option is only 1.8, 1.9, 2.0 and 2.1v <----way not enough

    fsb tremination voltage is only 1.2 and 1,3v <------- same here

    and thats all the voltage option there are on the p5b non dlx you also only get 3 memory dividers..... yuk

    you dont even get vmch which is as important as the vcore

    but dont take my word for it dl the manual

    go with the ds3 much better o/cer
