I did a search on newegg and google and came up with little.

Im getting in on the intel deal for a 820 processor, but i want SFF (silverstone) so that means i need a mATX board. Both abit and asus have good 945g boards but id like something with the ddr2 800.

Anyone have any info or possible timeframes? i wont need the board untill november.

I'd imagine that the cooling requirements for the dual core Pentium D and EE would prohibit SFF usage.

as far as i know the 945p 945g have just as high memory support as the 955x, officially ddr2-667.

i have a 945g board myself and i know this is true (i have a intel branded btx one though, so cant realy oc it)

2 5xx based cores in one package in an SFF system? Good luck..maybe if you get a water cooled shuttle case..

im confident the silverstone sg01 paired with an sp90 or sp120 and medium speed fan will work fine. Ill also be doing a mesh side mod. Im not worried about cooling.

ddr2 667 < ddr2 800 :p


any boards?

i will probably go with the abit lg-80 when it comes out or asus mATX 945g if it has firewire.
