Pentium D 960 Coming April 30th

[The Doc]

Intel's Pentium D 960 (3.6GHz) chip will apparently launch on April 30th with a launch price of $531 while the rest of the 9XX series will recieve price cuts. I've been waiting on this chip for awhile now all I need is a P965 chipset motherboard and I will be happy.

So when does the P965 Intel board release?

At this point, I have been waiting for the rev 304 Intel 975X board and a C1 Stepping Pentium D 940. The board is out, but the CPU releases 04/24/2006.

BroadWater (965 Chipset Family) is supposed to debut this quarter. These chipsets will have official support for Conroe.

So will the 975X rev 304 board which was released 04/16/2006.

I cannot figure out why the 975X with ICH7 will still be the enthusiast board while the P965 will have ICH8. At least this is what I have read.
