some noob question, those havent launch penryn core do support current P-35 or X-38 series board?

Supposed to be USD 316. So that is about RM1000-1100. The Q6600 was supposed to be USD 266 (the price never changed), see how much it is selling for now....

Yup. The P35 and X38 chipsets are supposed to support penryn. Current P35 mobos would need a bios update though....

So how is it possible for us to update our mobo?since i'm a p35 user here..really curious to know..

Bios update, means that you have to flash your bios to the latest one that supports penryn CPUs.

For example, my gigabyte P35-DS3's current F10 bios still doesn't support penryn CPUs yet. However, certain models of gigabyte mobo already has bios that support them. So just have to wait until a bios that supports penryn for you mobo comes out....

E8400 looks tempting to me with the price for just $163
poison poison

when penryn comes out, that Q9450, sure old quad will become cheaper..
so for those who are in a tight budget..just wait for price to drop a bit or grab 2nd hand proc..value for money..

Looking at the motherboard specs, can i be sure that IF it was labelled as 45nm Support, it means its penryn capable?

They are supposed to run penryn as long as the bios is up to date. However, previously, it was said that penryn requires 11.0 VRM specs mobo (whatever that means)......

Anyway, the only way to be sure is to test these procs on current 45nm-supported mobos.....

sorry a noob question here... how are those ppl who are having p35-ds3 now supposed to update the bios when they change to penryn? internet download patch or manually change settings in BIOS or something else?

Download latest bios for your mobo from their website.

borrow one from ur friends

if not steal one from them, later give em back



LOL, i think what tkh means is how do ppl wanna update their mobo when they just bought penryn proc + p35 mobo

the mobo won't boot up in the first place

isn't p35 ds3 supporting penryn out-of-the-box? the gigabyte website said so...

i tot E8400 $183
which means around RM640-RM690 in here ..
anyone know where to find those multiplier for all penryn procs?? gonna grab 1 for super oc it d haha

Yeah as stated there the specs of Gigabyte p35 mobo..."support upcoming 45nm processor"...Confusing though haha.

Maybe ppl there will flash the bios for you 1st....But only if you wanna DIY yourself at home lar.

maybe they missed some things... same issue for Intel 945 to support Intel Core procs at tat time...

Haha, I see what he meant now. Easy ma, the vendor have to sell you a mobo that supports penryn ma...... alternatively, they can flash a new bios for you?

As far as I know, you need a bios update. If you look at their current range of mobos, some of the updated bios(es) already support penryn while some still don't support them. I guess it takes time to release updated bios(es) for each mobo.....

Example here:
P35-DS3R has a bios that already supports penryn : http://www.giga-byte.com.my/Support/Mother...?ProductID=2626
P35-DS3, not yet : http://www.giga-byte.com.my/Support/Mother...?ProductID=2627

looks like i gonna wait till penryn out only decide which mobo to go, initial plan was get a p-35 based mobo, DFI Lanparty DK and some low-end pentium dual core e2xxx series to built temporarily new system, looks like gotto hugs onto my x2 till early 2008...

How about those P35 mobos from Asus? They stated its 45nm support but do they need bios update before its able to support Penryn?

well, i have some top secret infos regarding intel's next proc coz i have a relative working in intel, summore involved with the new proc project, namely the real quad core. that's what he said. i'll try to korek more info on him..like the release date etc..
