MSI 975X Platinum socket 775 motherboard

Will this motherboard support Dual Core 2 E6600 Conroe? I don't understand what the "Supports Intel® Dual Core Technology up to 1066MHz." means.

Another question (if you can answer), how do you know in the product specification (of any mobo) if it has intergrated video?
I doubt any of these do considering they all pretty much try to support crossfire (which i will probably never use )

I apologise for my ignorance...

Many thanks,

well If it is for crossfire or SLI it alsmost always will not support integrated video.

It should say like supports intel extreme graphics or somthin.

Yea when a board has onboard graphics it usualy says blah blah blah integrated graphics by blah blah. Usualy high end boards dont have that.

Ok, thank you both Do you know if this model definalty supports the new conroe? Does it just have to have the 975x chipset to work?

If it dosent support it right away im sure it will have a bios upgrade shortly, if it alrady dosent have one. I think the 975x chipset already have support for Core 2 Duo but i cant gurantee that.

the link goes to the bargain bin, not the product..


the 975X chipset cupporst conroe, but that doesnt mean your board will.

Intel Core Duo is different than Intel Core2 Duo. C2D IS conroe, CD is not. Can you post a link to the actual product.

This is the link to the actual product (hopefully), otherwise you can look in the bargin bin for the product name i supplied (only one page).

If this is the motherboard your talking about, then no, its not Core 2 Duo ("conroe") compatible.
