Remember, most of these you buy in the box do NOT support Conroe: http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33523
So, you need to get one, have another 775 chip around to flash the BIOS to upgrade it to get it to POST with Conroe. Also, be reminded that this board uses a chipset. Core2 support is still shitty, despite the new BIOS. It's also the 975 chipset, so no native DDR2-800 support.. A lot of places are dropping this board because of cost for performance and "eh" Core2 support, but if you need it, they have a PDF explaining how to do it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Hughes Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2006 8:25 PM To: 'The Hardware List' Subject: RE: [H] Core 2 and PCI-X Asus P5WDG2-WS http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=1031&l1=3&l2=11&l3=248 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131591 -------------------- Chris ------------------- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Weeden Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2006 12:27 PM To: hwg Subject: [H] Core 2 and PCI-X I have a PCI-X RAID card that is currently running in a standard PCI slot on a normal consumer mobo. I know that I am not taking advantage of its full capabilities but I didn't want to blow a lot of money on the older chipsets knowing that I would want Core2 Duo when it came out. Now that is has been announced, are there any mobos supporting it with PCI-X slots that we know of? Or will I have to wait just a bit longer... -- Brian
