The devs here got them here. Guess who's building it

I'll let you all know if I can OC it in there. Can't wait.

edit: I work at Intel btw.

Are you in Santa Clara? I live right by Intel, if you could bring that by and let me play games on it that would be fine.

The bad axe looks tempting, I wish it had something better than AC97 sound tho.

You have to admit, the codename Bad Axe is... well... Bad Ass. Kudos to intel for their awesme codenames. Cmon, Penryn, Merom (I named my fish Merom), Gesher?

Conroe name is not bad imo.

Is this AC97?

Sigmatel STAC9221D, 8-channel capable HD Audio Codec featuring Dolby Master Studio technology

I use a HDA Mystique sound card so I don't even know, and I can't comment on sound.

Conroe is one badass motherfucker. This SOB is FAST. I can't do any OCing because I'm on stock cooling and the Bad Axe isn't very friendly. Loaded the two systems with 2 gigs of DDR2-533 and my oh my.... fast!

Best part, the systems I upgraded were using Pentium D 930's .... guess where they're going
