If your motherboard is rev 1.0 and Gigabyte says that the boards that support kentsfield will be rev 2.0, your motherboard will not support kentsfield.

Actually, the article stated that Gigabyte said that "some" of the 1.0 boards will support Kentsfield. That will be determined later (with BIOS update I assume).

Gigabyte also advised AnandTech that some current P965 Revision 1 boards would also support the Intel Core 2 Quad with a BIOS upgrade. Gigabyte will be providing a compatibility list of current boards that support Kentsfield as soon as testing and BIOS updates are complete. We previously reported that Gigabyte's new lineup of P945 boards would support Kentsfield. However, as of 10-02-2006 Gigabyte engineering has confirmed that none of their 945P boards will support Kentsfield.
