Quad core rumors....

KPC84 · 10-26-2006, 11:51 PM

So I found out today that the new Quad Core will be out in November. I also heard a rumor that directX 10 will be out, along with the nvidia 8xxx series of gpu's will be out at the same time. Well, this is all well and good, but is there going to be an updated motherboard release that can handle all these new chipsets? Thanks.

Of course. If ther is a major new hardware release, motherboard companies will rush to support it.

just about any LGA775 mobo will do i think

maybe you just have to flash the bios??? i really dont know

Mostly the 965 and 975 chipsets, but most motherboards will require a BIOS update.

I know some motherboards are stating that they are compliant with the new quad-cores. But you don't need a special motherboard for the G80 or DX10, you just need a PCI-E x16 slot.

Well, that sure makes life much easier. I'm in the middle of a build right now and was wondering if you think this MoBo will support quadcore?

If this doesn't support quadcore, I may need to take another look at it. I won't compromise on SLI however. That is a must. Thanks.

I heard that you will have to run a power cable from your wall, thats a 110-120vac, straight to the processor via a special adapter that costs 27 dollars.

Hows that for a rumor?

I'm not sure, it doesn't say on the ASUSTek website. This one may work, but im not 100% sure: http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?l...98&modelmenu=1
