Are there any motherboards out, that are compatilbe witht he conroe chips, bu will give me the option of upgrading to the kenstfield chips later on?

What do I look for in a mobo so I know it is compatible with the core2quads?

If you could giv lnks, that would be great. Also, if you could tell me how goo d they are (in general) I would appriciate it :D!
 
For example:

Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 (P965)
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (P965)
Asus P5W DH Deluxe (975X)
Asus P5W64 WS Professional (975X)
Asus P5B Deluxe (P965)
Asus Striker Extreme (680i)
Abit AW9D-MAX (975X)


Here's more complete list:

Both Asus P5B Deluxe and P5W DH Deluxe are great boards, but P5B is said to have better performance with Kentsfield. How much I'm not sure, and future P5W BIOS revisions
might change that. Asus Striker is based on new 680i chipset, and also work great with Kentsfiled, but that board is most expensive of the lot, and is basically geared toward extreme gamers.
