People, anyone of you guys knows if the Intel 925P chipset might be compatible or support the Core 2 Duo, maybe after a BIOS update?
I know for sure that it supports it physically
Please help! :confused:

Not only that, but for the 975 chipsets, the motherboard must support Conroe. There are quite a few 975 chipset boards that do not support Conroe at all, and a few that can be bios updated to support it.

No, not 925. The reason why most 945 and 955 Chipsets didn't support Core 2 Duo was because they didn't have the voltage options for it, same with the first 975's either, but w/ a BIOS update or newer revisions, it was solved. But 925 doesn't support it at all.

No, there are some 945 and 955 Chipsets that support Conroe too.

This is 100% untrue. You need to provide links if you are going to say things like this. There are NO 945/955 chipsets that suppoer Core 2 Duo Conroes. None.
