so if you have a intel core duo or core 2 duo when it comes out you can use it.
My friend was looking for something like this. Thanx.
That goofy green thing is a fan lol.
Its where the printer port would go but most are USB anyway now.
also is there an IDE ATA input missing from that boardI though it had 2
Yeah, dual core is what I'm aiming for with this build, even though its still down the road a ways. I thought that green thing was a fan, but was kinda hard to tell in the pictures. That board only supports a single ATA cable, but that's 2 IDE devices. That's what I want cause I'll be switching everything over to SATA then. I don't know a great deal about processors so I don't know why this CPU is so relatively cheap, but that's the one I was looking at for that board. I know a lot will change though by the time I'm actually able to build this one.

I noticed that for this board too. Says max capacity is 8GB with 4 slots, but the DDR2 667 only seems to come in 1GB sticks at the most. I figured it was either just a mistake, or the 2GB chips at that speed just haven't become available yet. Same deal with this AMD board I mentioned earlier, only it uses DDR2 800 instead. Somebody's gonna get nailed for false advertising somwhere along the line.
