I was checking out the ASUS P5B-VM on the egg but one review says :
"Cons: Does not work with all Core 2 Duo's! I ordered an E6750, which later turns out that ASUS does not support this chip. The board only works with the even number processors (i.e. E6500, E6600, E6700)"

that board needs a bios update... the boards i pointed you to are not the same model number. P5B referes to p965 and P5k = g33, both boards support 1333fsb but the P5B like stated needs a bios update.

no its not, not much longer, around november. the 8800gt will be out and in the same price point as the current 8600gt but will offer 8800gts performance. the 8800gts is said to get a stream processor upgrade,as in going from the current 96 to 112. as the 8800gt is said to have 89 i thought could be wrong.
ok so somehow i posted to the wrong thread...

Do you have any links to the price info for the 8800GT's? The 8600GT can be had for right around $100. If it is worth the wait I suppose I could use the VGA to DVI adapter to connect the onboard video to my new 1080pLCd.
