Conroe now available from OcUK!

Damn... I cancelled my order yesterday out of bad mood and now I'm regretting it.

And now I've seen the bad axe can somehow cope with a 7950 thanks to madness. Oh well. :(

I hope so, the waiting is painful. :)

What's the difference between the conroe mobos being released in the near future and the conroe motherboards available now?
 
As I understand it, the forthcoming ones are a more reasonable price and better value, plus will hoepfully benefit from the Nforce5 chipset (although there will be others available?). Also, they will be full compatible with the Conroe providing current AMD users a proper upgrade path when they do not have an old Pentium chip available to get the BIOS flashed to make the boards compatible. I think there are some comaptible ones availble at present but this is how I understand the situation at present and for AMD users like myself, the AM2 upgrade option of new mobo and ram and CPU are not worth it when Intel's Conroe has beaten AMD hands down for the next 18month to 2 years. If you are going for a new platform, Conroe compatible is it. Sadly, the motherboard manafacturers failed to get compatible stable and reasonable price boards out in time for Conroe's launch. It seems the current crop of comaptible boards all have issues in someway in terms of overclocking or feature set that users here are not happy with.

Thanks "The Old Man" :)

I've already ordered that motherboard but to be honest, I'm new to hard-ware specs and I never thought two seemingly identical motherboards could actually provide totally different performances. I'll carry on reading those reviews!
 
Well as I've just been flaimed in another topic for posting my understanding, probably best not to believe anything I say! Even if its with the best of intentions!

Never mind, don't take it personally, some people just can't seem to remove their motherboard from their rear end in time to reply politely.

Don't worry about it old chap, your post in that thread was a valid one and made sense to me.

why is it in the C2D page the shipment date of the 6800 the 24th when it is in stock? strangely C2D 3,4,6,7 arrive that day :confused:

I think Intel have said they can't be shipped before the 24th.

So what are the chances of all the other CPUs shipping tomorrow then?
 
Order placed :D perfect price point for me.

Going to need more FSB room to get 3Ghz as I was planning on using a 6600, might have to ditch my DFI.

Hi there

Its just to keep Intel happy! :)

Product is in stock and we are shipping orders right now so just ignore the website.

We also have confirmed 200 x E6300 OEM arriving Monday/Tuesday next week and these are just £114.95 +VAT. :D
 
a multi of 7 is just too low , mate youre gonna need 450 fsb to reach 3150 , 450 fsb is a lot

Seen a few people get 2.9Ghz on 420, I'm hoping to find a board which will do just a smidge more, although I'll be very happy with anything above 2.66Ghz for this price (providing my DFI can give 380).
