I'd keep the intel board - bios update it and its core 2 duo/quadro compatible!

 

[madmatt]

It's not, sadly. I had to purchase the newest revision for my C2D. According to Intel the board has physically changed and a bios upgrade won't make it compatible.

The only difference between the 302 board and the 305 that I now have is the color (that I can see that is).

 

[LordOfLA]

Hmmm one of my usual suppliers was indicationg it was just a bios revision. Must be a wiriing difference between the revisions then.

still my favourite etailer had a buy now pay in 6 months thing, so soon as I send off the signed paperwork my C2D, Board and Ram will ship 🙂

 

[madmatt]

Is anyone interested in purchasing this combo before I try my hand at eBay?

 

[chastity]

Nice deal, only downside from my point of right now is the fact the boad uses DDR2 instead of DDR and can't tell if it uses PCIe or AGP for the video.

 

[madmatt]

DDR2 and dual PCIe

ATI* CrossFire* Multi-GPU Platform Support ATI CrossFire technology enables two ATI graphics cards to work together for ultimate 3D gaming performance and visual quality

and...

One Primary PCI Express* x16 (electrical x16 or x8) bus add-in card connector
One Secondary PCI Express* x16 (electrical x8) bus add-in card connector
One PCI Express* x16 (electrical x4) bus add-in card connector

thanks for the information madmatt. If I could afford the rest of the hardware needed to get it up and running I would really conisder it but sadly at this point time I can't.

Though as I said its a good deal

[madmatt]

[kcnychief]

As I said, if it's still available - cool, if not, no biggie.
