Q6600 or wait for Penryn????

[Labs23]

Yes, a Gigabyte DS3R, here are the specs: GA-P35C-DS3R

And an ASUS P5KC: P5KC

The DS3R is what I'll be putting in my new build next month.

The mobos spikke and labs23 mentioned are also worth checking out, though I havent seen any reviews for those yet. There will be other p35 dual ram boards out between now and oct as well. Your in a good position IRT waiting, as other people get to be the "test pilots" for these products and you will have the benefit of their experiences, good or bad.

thats cool...thnx for all the advice guys...very helpful...ive also notice that the ds3r has only 1 pci-e. do any come with 2 pci-e. im thinking of going sli soon after i finish my build so im looking for something like that.



my bad i missed the second link...that is nice...which other do ya recommend...and please excuse me but im new to this...but if it says crossfire ready...care ATi's gpu's only compatible with it...or can you use Sli on the asus mobo?

Should I expect ANYTHING besides these g33 boards in a micro-ATX topology? any plans? I think a few LANbox builders would be VERY interested. As for me, the rest of my planned sysops is geared towards uATX also. AMD/NV has apparently got something started with the 7025/7050 MoBo's. (nice integrated N/S bridges on the die, too)

The P35's can't do SLI. To do SLI you will need to use an Nvidia mobo.

I've heard, that with a bios flash, the 680i's will support Penryn, but I have no concrete proof to back it up.
