MB upgraqde?

[Duke{CLR}]

I am #26 in line this time last week I was #432. So in a week or so I should be sending mine in. I will keep you updated.

It can't hurt to sign up because they wont charge you until they recieve your MB.

I just got my email to send in my MB. Unfortunately I am on day one of a six day trip. Fortunately I was able to set up my PC for remote access so I can transfer the files I need while I am away.

It's off! I have FedExed my MB to EVGA. Whats cool is that I was able to ship it overnight and using their pacakaging and $250.00 coverage I only had to pay around $25.00 thanks to my %75 discount.

It should tak aobut three days to process and 2 to ship back. Hopefuly I will have me system back together next week.

Bump for a silly(?) question:

Will the 680i Mobos support 45mm at all? With a BIOS upgrade? Or are most of us up the creek if/when we wish to move to a Penryn Chip?

Yes, my XFX 680i Mobo just had a bios update come out that adds support for the 45nm processors.

Rand for your board the only 45mn that will be supported will be the Wolfdale(dual cores). That's for an EVGA board at least. i can't speak for other MB manufactures.

Depends on the board ... most will easily support it, and even many 650is will support all but the Yorkfield. My MSI 650i board will support the 84/8500 and even the 9550 quad ! They are testing the 9450 right now which is what I want to upgrade to, so I pat myself on the back for buying the board that I did and finding it is already certified for the new 45nm chips.

eVGA isn't known for their rigorous testing and CPU support updates (I own one, I know) so good luck with your 680, as I am sure it will support most, if not all, of the quads.

OOPS, spoke too soon:

Hmm I wonder if my Asus 680 board will support the 45nm cpus...
