Penryn support on older chipsets...wahey!
This is a mixture of cpu and mobo related info so I figured general hardware was the best place for it!
I just saw this article over at behardware: http://www.behardware.com/news/lire/08-08-2007/
It appears to suggest that far from needing a P35-based motherboard to support these upcoming 45nm CPUs you can, with a suitable bios, use them on P965, 975X and various 6xx-series nforce motherboards.
It's come a bit late for everyone who already jumped ship to the new chipset of course...
