i'm planning a build too for conroe, i'm going with the ASUS P5w DH deluxe as 34erd said, it seems to be pretty nice and has come cool features...

Wait a bit, buying now will be silly as all boards and CPUs are still over priced due to supply problems (because of all the damn hype around conroe).

And where can we find the best motherboard for conroe that deals with *billmelater* that some of us can get with finance.

The board that's been catching my eye is the ASUS P5W-DH Deluxe, it's getting a lot of good press and it's tried and true. it's a pricey board but so are most of the decent Core 2 Compatible boards. Also beware that whichever board that you buy you might also need to do a bios update to get things running and an extra socket:rolleyes: 775 chip on hand if you have it, wouldn't hurt. As an over clocker I've steered away from Intel boards because they have in the past limited the adjustments needed to effectively over clock because Intel would like you to pay more for the speed gains.

I'm no big fan of anandtech but their list of boards should be helpful.

Before buying a board take special care to insure that it is compatible with Core 2 duo, many boards of the same socket type are not.

I cant find asus p5w deluxe mobo in stock nowhere. And it hard to find the Conroe E6600 in stock. Can anyone else find it?

Also take a look at MSI's 975X board, which has been rereleased to support conroe.

Where do i find that? Since there is 2 of the same board and this is just to support conroe. And most of all is that msi 975x board any better then asus p5w dh deluxe?
