compatible chipsets?

[jonneymendoza]

hi does anyone know which chipsets does a e6300 support? is it only 975x and a 965?

All 965 boards support Conroe. Most 975X boards support Conroe, but some have an incompatible power system. 955X and 945 support Conroe, but none of the boards out there have a compatible power system.

All you need to do is go to froogle and type Core 2 Duo Motherboard and all the compatible boards will show up.

Any board that supports Pentium-M, Dothan and Yonah, supports Core 2 Duo if it has the correct VRM.

Intel Core platforms
Whatever the platform for which they are intended, processors based on Core architecture use an existing Socket. For servers, it is the Socket LGA771 introduced recently with the « Dempsey » Xeon 50xx (derived from the Presler), whereas for desktops and mobiles it will be the Socket LGA775 and Socket mPGA479M.

A word of warning: This doesn´t means that processors will be compatible with existing platforms. For laptops, if all current motherboards supporting the Core Duo are compatible with the Core 2 Duo, desktop motherboards have to be conform with the 11th version of Intel´s VRM (Voltage Regulation Module).

There you have it. There are i865 and i945 cheap boards that support Core 2 Duo, you can even hang on to AGP and DDR1, use a cheap board until something cheaper or more robust launches.
