For conroe/kentfield, I present the ASUS P5W64 WS Professional

[W1nTry]

Just the first page of a review I just read through will give you an idea of what goodies, this beast has in store for you, whats more, you could potentially run quad Xfire... albeit in not quite ideal circumstances, here's the intro and then some pics:

Introduction

Hello, dear reader. I have a few questions to ask you, if you've got a couple of minutes. You do? Brilliant, thanks for stopping by. Are you a high-end computer user by any chance? You are? Excellent, and are you by any chance looking to upgrade your system in the near future? Cool, and are you looking towards Core 2 Duo now, and maybe Intel quad-core processors when they arrive? Superb, then maybe you can do one last thing for me.

Please describe the perfect mainboard for that system spec that's in your head. Think about it for a bit and please take your time. Tell me whenever you're ready.

Finished? Winner, tell me all about it. Support for lots of memory, maybe even 8GiB? 'k. Completely flexible PCI Express, for graphics and peripherals, check. Overclocks like a World champ, and a couple of PCI slots for your X-Fi and your PhysX too? Yes, likewise. Anything else?

Front-panel connectors that don't suck, enough SATA2 ports to attach terrabytes of storage, maybe in RAID, and layout that borders on perfection. Me too, me too! So what if I told you such a mainboard existed. You want to read all about it?

Now that my E6600 is in shipping to me all I need is this board to hit stores to Pawn all!!!!!!

[Prowl]

Well usps seems to have lost my e6600, will have to wait on insurance but my p5w64ws pro is on it's way to me

[TriniXaeno]

the board sounds like a dream for core 2 duo indeed.

too rich for my blood though.

I'll stick with a cheapo p965 express. Just read a chipset review that put it on top of the others. Only the 590 looks to best it on the horizon and that is on paper at the moment.
