In the same way that an Agena on the standard AM2 socket will be 'limited' to that platforms HT speed and DDR2 memory, are there any drawbacks to getting a current DDR2/P35 board (in my case, likely an Asus P5K-e) and eventually plonking a Penryn in it?

Still trying to figure out which of these chips is gonna be better for me!

Are you planning on buying a P5K-e and a Core2Duo for now then buy a Wolfdale/Yorkfield CPU when they come out?

Pretty much :) Although aren't Penryn's due out first? Or is that just the name of that processor family?
 
Thanks for that Azza, although it doesn't really answer my original question ;) will the forthcoming Wolfdale/Yorkfield chips suffer at all from being run on current P35 boards?
