Need big time help

[blaackoran]

Building this computer:
x1900 AIW
Pentium D 805
Aspire Q Pack
WD 80gb SATA
LG DVD Writer (5 inch)
G Skill Extreme 2GB ddr2/800


Now what motherboard do i pair with this? It needs to support ddr2 800, have pcie x16 and support the d 805. The reason for ddr2 800 is im dropping in conroe and new mobo later so...

So basically what micro-atx mobos support ddr2 800? Are all ddr2/667 mobo's capable or running ddr2 800?

My only other option is to go with aspire x-plorer...but then would the P5ND2-SLI work with ddr2 800?

the first one is the cheapest one I could find and the second one is about $170. Both support the PD, DDR2 800, and PCI-E x16.

And the P5ND2-SLI only supports DDR2 667.

yeah but cant u run faster memory on a 667? also arent there any viable micro atx's?

Calibretto those x955 motherboards. Conroe will be running x975 chipsets.

Yes the second one is X975, but I would wait for companies to release official conroe motherboards instead of getting a x975 now and trying to flash it or somthing....

best bet seams to be this

or this

but neither will run conroe... the only thing that might do that is a full ATX form factor and that'd be this

i dont care about running conroe on the board i buy now, im going to drop it in later.

But those motherboards can run G.SKill Extreme 2gb ddr2 800 right?

 

[Lord AnthraX]

wait when you say drop it in, do you mean buy a new motherboard and drop the conroe in?

 

[blaackoran]

i mean in like 4-5 months im gonna buy conroe and a conroe board... just care about getting d 805, x1900 aiw and ddr2 800 ram to work in micro atx format right now...

 

[blaackoran]

so will ddr2 800 work in the Gigabyte GA-8I945GMF ??

 

[GageMW]

it'll work, but not at that speed unless you overclock.
micro atx boards are only running at 667 stock right now
