core 2duo question

[dhkkim]

will it work on my asus mobo? ( i have the one with dual core1 support + max 1024mhz FSB)

or do we need new mobo for new core2 processor?

You'll most likely need a new one. Post your chipset.

Got a 965 board? Yes.
Got one of the newest 975 boards? Yes.

Got anythng else? Most likely not.

Probably not, because the E6xxx Core2's are 1066 FSB.

i have 975 chipset and 1066fsb.

What is the motherboard model? When did you buy it? Just because its a 975X chipset doesn't mean it supports Conroe. Conroe required a new specification of voltage regulators that old 975X boards do not have. All P965 motherboards are Conroe-compatible, though.

Note to self: I really hope that Asus P5W-DH Deluxe that arrives tomorrow from Newegg has the 0701 BIOS on it, because I don't have any LGA775 Pentium processors to flash the BIOS.
