Can anyone help me? My question is I have a pentium d-3.46EE and the p5wd2-e mobo with corsair xms2 memory (4-1g sticks) and I was wondering if;

Are there any other different mobo's that I could use with this processor (975x chipset)?

running xp-pro 32bit is my board running ddr2 speeds even though 32bit only recognizes 3gig or do I need 64bit?

want to upgrade memory to 8500 (1066-on board and cpu) cuz fsb is 1066 but will the current board use it?

any help wouold be greatly appreciated!!

If you like the Asus boards (as you have one already) then the P5K-E & P5K-E will both accept the Pentium D and are ICH9R so you can still use your RAID configuration. They are penryn ready too.

Don't really understand what you are saying in the next two questions. I think you are saying you have 4GB DDR2 and saying it isn't recognised. Well yes, 64-bit will recognise everything. And PC2-6400 would be a good upgrade, you can do PC2-8500 if you wish.
