Conroe runs on super cheap i865 AGP mobo
Over at HKEPC, they tested the next generation Conroe - Intel Core E6700 - is tested on an Asrock 77i65G motherboard. This is a i865G motherboard with ICH5, which means that it was meant for last generation's Pentium but is still compatible with the fastest CPU Intel has. The rev 2.0 version comes with an AGP 8X slot - I am not kidding - a mATX format, three PCI slots, RoHS compliance, SATA/PATA ports and DDR400 compatibility. HKEPC did not overclock the Conroe which runs at 2.66GHz. There are a couple of 3DMark 05 benchmarks as well. (src: TheInquirer) |
