guyz who uses intel mobo for conroe, i need your help...

I'm buying a conroe next week & i'm thinking if intel mobos are good....
I don't overclock, will intel mobo offer the same performance with gigabyte, asus or msi given that i will run on stock, no to overclock....

I have the Intel DG965RY board, but I don't have it setup yet, as my CPU doesn't arrive until September.

I haven't really heard much about Intel boards in review sites, either. The only thing I have heard or read about is about the IGP on G965/Q965 boards, but that was from a pre-production model, and since then, zilch.

I am thinking that the P965s and G/Q965s should be just as good as Gigabyte, ASUS, or MSI boards, with the only concern being the 1.8v memory requirement that Intel has for it's boards. Again, I would love to tell you that any memory would work, but since my board is still in the box, I cannot honestly say that's so.

If you're not overclocking, the Intel boards are great. Solid as a rock.

I'd get a different motherboard, especially if you want to use 800MHz ram.

Check the thread on this motherboard in the motherboards forum.
