Conroe thoughts


Just about everyone appears ready to jump on the Conroe bandwagon, even though it hasn't officially arrived yet. Conroe does look fast and powerful. But one of the keys will be the motherboards. Will there be good mobos to take advantage of Conroe's speed? The current S775 non-Conroe boards are, for the most part, disappointing. Having a fast chip and a problematic board can be a very frustrating experience.

If the past is any indication, there will probably be only 1-2 boards that everyone will want.

Probably not right away. I will try Conroe first and maybe Merom too, if I can find a chip that doesn't have the FSB limitation.
