Even more Conroe + DDR + AGP goodies from Gigabyte. Thanks to vailr, he pointed me in the direction of the GA-8I865PE775-G-RH (rev. 4.9) (
link. Doing a google search for that main string also yeilded the rev 2.0 (
link) (no Conroe support), and the rev 3.0 (
link). Not sure what the difference between the rev 3.0 and rev 4.9 boards are, or why they would need two hardware revs to support the Conroe, unless they screwed up the old rev. (Or perhaps it is to add support for the quad-core, we can only hope I guess.)
But the good news is that this is a full-size ATX, with 865PE chipset, supporting the Conroe! And it seems to be a recent release, not discontinued, like ASRock's board is. I just noticed, these boards also sport gigabit LAN! So they are actually better than the ASRock boards.
Ok, the difference so far seems to be:
rev 2.0 - ALC653 sound, Marvell 8001 gigabit
rev 3.0 - ALC655 sound, Marvell 8001 gigabit
rev 4.9 - ALC655 sound, Realtek 8110SC gigabit
All seem to sport the ICH7, not ICH6, which is also interesting. No official mention of support for 1066 FSB on the web pages, which is also interesting.
NewEgg does not yet carry this board. Please contact them, and ask them to carry this board!
