Ok about the Conroe compatibility thing i found this on Intel.com, it makes me think that conroe will work on the 975X chipset.

next-generation extreme edition proccessor" then under that for the motherboard it says "intel 975X express chipset", im guessing that the "next generation Extreme edition proccessor" wil be conroe.
i also found thing on multiple other web site like these.

Intel has indicated that Conroe will work in existing 975X motherboards, though a BIOS update will be needed.
im not 100% but im pretty sure conroe willl work with 975X boards.
