I'm not sure if there are any available at the moment but I'm sure there will be plenty as the conroe is a very low power/low heat cpu so perfect for micro PCs.

Jesus dude I said I wasn't sure not that there weren't any. I just didn't have the time to check at that time so I gave the guy a bit of hope and his thread a bit of a bump so someone with the time could come up with a list of possibilities like you did.

I dont think any of the matx boards are great clockers.
There is lots of info on matx boards here:

I currently have a Asus P5b-VM and the max Stable fsb i can get out of it is 315 if i increase the PCI-E bus frequency to around 115(cant remember exact number off hand). I did get it up 325 but was far from stable so i backed it off.

If your not interested in overclocking then i think its a good solid matx board and i think it is still the only one that supports ddr2 800 memory, even if it cant supply it enough voltage....sigh
Im suprised that the new abit doesnt!

I was interested in overclocking so this was my first and last matx board so im going to get a "proper" motherboard and get my system up to its potential. Not that im bitter at all.
