Can you elborate? The few reviews I've read didn't indicate anything major, so long as the 975X is recent enough... I was looking at the Asus P5W DH Deluxe...none of the 965 boards look worth a damn.

Needs:
3+ "legacy" PCI
2+ PATA onboard
6+ SATA onboard

To Intel: FU for not putting a PATA controller in the ICH8R.

I'm just itching for a new toy. I honestly haven't decided if I want to do a platform upgrade at this point, or get a shiny new HDTV. The current state of motherboards for Core2 make me lean towards the TV...

No its a sucky combo. While you get some of the benefit not nearly all and SUPER shitty problems. Much better luck to xombine a core2 with current 965 boards

But there seems to be a dearth of good mobos for them..

Word is that the C2 stepping of the P965 chipset with the Conroe fixes
won't be out until 9-09 or so..  September is quite a ways off.

Should we buy 975X or just wait for September before we update to Core2
Duo?  :)
