Can i ask if on the description of the board on the place you bought it listed conroes as being compatable? The fact that mine didnt is making me think i'll prolly have to buy a cheap celeron to get it going, i've asked the seller for the Rev. number of the board in case i can find out which bios it has that way but not heard back yet. You didnt by any chance 'buy now' on on an auction site? Long shot but its worth asking :p

Is it right what i've been reading that the p5w wont post at all with a conroe until the bios is updated? I ask as the one i bought (not OCuK) didnt list core duos in the compatability list. Gonna be a bit of a bugger if it turns out its the older revision i bought as i certainly dont have any other 775 celerons to be able to even get into the bios to flash it :p

I got this mobo about 3 weeks ago and it came with the 0701 bios, I would think by now that all the new release asus boards come with this bios or newer. I had my mobo from OcUK with 2Gb of G Skill and 6400 Core 2 and it ran straight out of the box.

Good luck with your build :D
