Current mobos that already support Penryn. Like expected the 680i and 650i P5N32-E SLI PLUS support it.

Thank god for that... I'm glad I didn't go out and spend $250 on a new P5K Deluxe when my P5B-Deluxe will run 45mm!!!

The P35 are said to help OC quads better though but if you are on a B3 stepping Q6600 it probably will not make much difference anyway. Thats why I went with a $130 GA-P35-DS3R (helluva deal)

Yes I posted these before but they are actually 771 sockets (server chips) anyway. If I was waiting for a Penryn, I would wait for the prices of the higher multis to come down $$.

Yeah by next tax time they'll hopefully have newer better clocking revisions for less money so no big deal.
