I'm planning to upgrade to a Q6600 from a Presler Pentium D. I was wondering if there is a motherbaord that supports the Q6600 and also the Pentium D Presler as well?
 
Thanks EliteHacker. Yeah, either of those boards look okay. I don't really know if they're good or not, but there were two questions I had to anyone who knows the answer.

First of all... what is PATA ATA100 2 Dev. Max? Is that similar/compatible with IDE?

Secondly, would I be able to buy a firewire PCI card and add it on to this motherboard?

Thanks

Any motherboard that supports the Core 2 Duo should also support the Pentium D and Pentium 4.

Yes... but what about future quad core processors?

I read his post wrong, any motherboard that can support the Q6600 can also support dual-cores, such as the Core 2 Duo, Pentium D, or the single-core Pentium 4's.
 
The motherboard I showed the P35 D3L supports Quad core motherboards. I came across the Asus P5K, its a pretty good medium range motherboard. It has solid state capacitors and even a heatpipe. It a tad more expensive then the gigabyte one but I think its worth it. I have read in the reviews that its really good for overclock with heaps of voltage controls. Does anybody have that card? If so, what are your experiences with it, I'm planning on getting at the end of November when I upgrade my motherboard.

Is it the P5K Deluxe (which I have), or just the P5K?
 
I guess it would have to be amazing, just look at the price tag. 0_0 I have read alot of very positive reviews about it, and the board by itself looks very impressive, with all its heatpipes.
