As some of you may or may not have seen, it is now possible to pre-order conroe motherboards from within the UK;

Just wondering if anyone here (gibbo?) could shed light on when you'll be getting the first 965X boards in?

I'm looking to get in a conroe compatible mobo and a Pentium D 805 ASAP to tide me over, until conroe comes out - i'm currently using a dell laptop, having sold my old rig in anticipation of this.

So yeah, all and any hard info would be much appreciated.

I read yesterday on a forum that at the latest pc show...computex or wahtever it is called, the manufacturers said 23rd July
 
I'm pretty sure that's Conroe itself. Motherboards support it can be out anytime, as they are all based around 975x, 965x and 945x chipsets so they will all support current P4's.

It would make sense to launch them sooner rather than later tbh.

I read manufacturers are way behind on production of these new conroe supporting boards...and a representative said likely date for release will be when conroe goes live...23rd July.

Not sure how credible the guy was...but he did state he was there in person.

I know the intel bad axe is out in UK...but I tried several UK sources for the MSI rev 2.0b of the 975x...and they are all rev 1.0. Was told by a former BT favourite that they only have 23rd July as release dates for any conroe hardware.
