Intel Core2Duo ... anyone got one working yet?

[sureno]

i considered newegg looks great but was concerened if power output would be an issue as we are 240, also may get a hit for tax at customs too
the 2 boards are identical in appearance and all that the reviews say is that the premium disapates heat better asus site no longer shows the deluxe barr the ddr3 model but not quite ready for that

you might have checked this out but just in case you haven't... P5K mobo's

[sureno]

yeah i checked it out, uk site doesn't show half those boards, which one would you go for

i followed the lead of sunburst and a few others and built using the P5K Deluxe Wifi. it's a great board. check out some of the feedback in the other CORE2 thread. also the link i posted for you is from the ASUS global site, not the US

[sureno]

you made me think i was going mad but after checking twice i can confirm the u.k site does not list the p5k deluxe

[sureno]

deluxe = ATI crossfire technology
premium = AMD crossfire technology

premium = AMD crossfire technology

again, i would suggest checkin' the other CORE2 thread. that is where you'd find the compilation of results of most of the builds. sorry i don't have a definitive answer out of the one's you have to choose from.

one thing to note...the AGERE FW has proven to be compatible with the 002. but i don't think that is the case with the VIA FW chipset. just somethin' to note as you research the mobo's

[sureno]

could you elaborate please

hey mykhal c, the premium is AGERE FX3227-100 f/w chipset not sure about the deluxe but i know now the premium has alledgedly better voltage control. thanks for your input, you where the only one

no problem my friend. i know sunburst has some things on his plate that keep him from checkin' in right now. but i'm sure he'll give you some feedback when he can. and it seems like you made a good choice. also it's good that you posted in the other CORE2 thread since that is the one that is the more active and the one where i'm updatin' results of builds done by DUC'ers. good luck and keep us posted in that thread
