Newer boards should work with conroe. You can update the bios to support conroe but you'll need a non conroe 775 processor to do it.

lol.. that would be great.

The motherboard is now on backorder again, but I've spotted what I think is a better, more stable motherboard, that is $50 more than the P5WDH

Its a workstation board, so im guessing that it will be good? http://www.tankguys.biz/p5wdg2-sata....html?osCsid=8b64dd9a5e635e0d2509fee9b31419d8

$340. in stock(need it before school because I wont have ANY time to set it up once school starts. Would you guys recommend this board?

Reviews say it hits 420MHz on default voltage, and the vMCH supposedly goes higher. :)

I may buy. I got some extra $ for it.
