Ive been asked by a close friend to build him a pc. Using the limited online componet selection that i have here in SA here is what i have cobbled together. CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 MOBO Asus P5LD2 Deluxe RAM Corsair DDR2-667 1GB (2x512MB) XMS2 Twin2X PSU (This is a suspect descision but money is always short so...) Antec SmartPower 2.0 450W GPU XFX Geforce 7600GT I am a little worried about compatibility with the mobo and the conroe. Are there any issues here. I want to do a good job so if there are any sugestions or comments they would be welcome. Thanx
it shud be com[atible as it says it supports 1066mhz fsb but it doesnt list the conroe cpu so it may be a thing to rethink, **Socket 775 for Intel Pentium D / Pentium 4 / Celeron Intel® EM64T / EIST Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology ready New power design supports Intel® next generation 04B/04A & 05B/05A CPU ** its a shame that it only supports ddr2 up to 667mhz though
I don't believe that board support's Conroe. The ones I know do are the following: Intel 975BX rev 3.04 (the latest revision has the proper voltage support) Abit AB9/AB9 Pro Abit AW9D series Asus P5B Deluxe Asus P5ND2 Gigabyte P965-DQS ECS P965A-T There may be a few others that can, but the Conroe list is pretty short. The motherboards with the Intel P965 chipset or the nForce 570/590 Intel editions will all support Core 2 (Conroe), since they're designed with it in mind.
