Asus

Asus provided complete details on their models and BIOS revisions that would support Kentsfield.

ASUS Kentsfield Compatible Motherboards

P5WDG2 WS Professional Intel 975X/ICH7R BIOS 0307 and later
P5W64 WS Professional Intel 975X/ICH7R BIOS 0116 and later

P5B-E Plus (No US Model) Intel P965/ICH8R BIOS 0108 and later
P5B-V Intel G965/ICH8 BIOS 0403 and later

MSI

Version 2 of the 975X Platinum is also called the MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp Edition. This model, MS-7246, was recently introduced to support Core 2 Duo and is a different model than the older MSI 975X Platinum, which is also called MS-7246, but does not support either Core 2 Duo or Kentsfield.

MSI Kentsfield Compatible Motherboards
Description Model # BIOS Revision
975X Platinum V.2 MS-7246 BIOS V7.2 or later
P965 Platinum MS-7238 BIOS V`1.1 or later
P5N Diamond MS-7320 NO BIOS Update Needed
P5N Platinum MS-7350 NO BIOS Update Needed

It appears recent MSI 975X and 965 boards will have no problem supporting Kentsfield Quad Core processors.

Gigabyte

Gigabyte provided an extensive list of models that would support Kentsfield. However, all of these models are Revision 2 boards that will be released in mid- October. Gigabyte made it very clear that all Revision 2.0 boards below will fully support Kentsfield.

Gigabyte also advised AnandTech that some current Revision 1 boards would also support the Intel Core 2 Quad with a BIOS upgrade. Gigabyte will be providing a compatibility list of current boards that support Kentsfield as soon as testing and BIOS updates are complete.

giga Revision 2 boards 指c2得还是其他什么?

handelin · 发表于 2006-9-30 16:43

估计是的....

dfi还没有正式作出回应，dfi 975也是支持4 core的

andyhe · 发表于 2006-9-30 17:20

之前看到关于C2的改进并没有提到和四核有关。期待进一步的资料消息

handelin · 发表于 2006-9-30 17:38

C2步进和Quad core没有直接关系，许多C1的965都能支持了，只需升级BIOS更新CPU微码.

真是吃惊！连945都支持Kentsfield！
看来技嘉立功了！

975X的DS5，不错哟
哪个厂家出个975 ich8r的。。

handelin · 发表于 2006-10-3 15:36

现在基本确定绝大多数支持Core2Duo的965和975主板都能通过升级BIOS支持Core2Quad,这次Intel还算有点人性，不过基于Quad处理器和X6800相等的价钱，也只能望而却步了。

这么说我的965能坚持到四核了？

除了11月份的Q6800，还有明年Q1的Q6600，到时候就便宜了。

所以现在选一块好的975X或者965P还是很有"生命力"的!
