New Build

[O Nemesis 0]

I'm about to build another computer but when choosing the motherboard, should I wait for BTX or just go with the standard ATX. Another thing is that will BTX support the upcoming quad core cpu? ty

Some current LGA775 boards will support the Core2Quad (Quad Core Kentsfield QX6700 CPU) CPUs with a new BIOS.

ECS PX1 is one of the first to release a new bios that supports Intel's Kentsfield CPU which is a quadcore CPU.

For now BTX is used for OEM distributors like Dell. I think it will take a while for BTX to appear in the main stream market.
