wondering if any of you seen much on this pretty new far as i could tell. And i couldnt find any benchmarks for it maybe a upgrade path for me sence im not ready to drop my ddr and agp. But if they have one of these other motherboard manufacturers should have some soon. Looks like it has 4 phase power so thats good for overclocking.

found this to

by that conroe will have a low end 800mhz cpu come out also.

ASRock isn't really a motherboard manufacturer that I'd personally use or endorse for a rig, but that's just my opinion. And especially for Conroe; you're gonna be using an older chipset which isn't going to be able to make full use of Intel's new memory controller and other goodies. Further, you're still going to be using DDR and AGP on that motherboard; I'd wait and save up for a complete upgrade instead of a temporary solution. Just my 0.02c worth

AsRock and Asus boards are made in the same factory. Asus more the high end stuff and AsRock the main stream system builders type area from what we are lead to believe here

ASROCK SKT-775 CONROEXFIRE-ESATA2 S/L 1066FSB



and

ASROCK SKT-775 CONROE945G-DVI S/V/L M-ATX 1066FSB

I've read reports in the past that you can get some good clocks with some of their kit tho

Those two boards actually don't look half bad. But the one in the OP's first post looked wicked n00b. DDR & AGP + Conroe = WTF?
