Core2Duo Motherboards...

Is this what you're looking for??

**Shudders** Urgh Jetway... I had a board made by them, it was THE worse board I have had to date.

Personally I'm using G.Skill PC6400 "NR" Ram 2x1gb, Conroe 6600 and Gigabyte DS3, booted first time and no issues whatsoever. If you're after compatible parts I can recommend that - I'm also at 3.25Ghz fully stable (default 2.4Ghz)

Can't wait untill DFI bring out a Lan Party board for conroe.

Nice going cptwhite_uk is this your g-skill ?? 2Gb G.Skill DDR2 PC2-6400 NR Series 5-5-5-15 had a look at the GA-965P-DS4 previously. Conroe 6600 is the cpu which i'll probably opt for.

All the current boards suck tbh... none of them are free of significant issues, although admittedly the situation is getting better with subsequent BIOS updates.

As is generally always the case.

Thats the problem with new processors. Exceptional motherboards don't start appearing until a few months after release.

Yep that's the stuff

As a side note make sure you update the BIOS to the F4 revision. Board came F3 BIOS out of the box which didn't overclock as well.

Just wandering which CPU cooler you're using?

Mini review here, further from home but should have some numbers up soon which is what we want

[markspeed]

Is this board going to be any better than whats already on offer?

[Sumanji]

Probably not but it's the only chipset that will give you official SLI support with an Intel chip. And all those fancy features (which may or may not work properly) like NIC teaming, ActiveArmour etc.

Its now just a waiting game for reviews to stream through...
