i'm planning for an upgrade. it seems that new proc 6550 with fsb 1333 Mhz is not supported by P5B-VM. the intel site also does not give any help. which mobo supports this? based on p-35/33 any asus boards are available?

I thought P5B.:D

Anyways what is the price of P5K-C? The one which blends DDR2 with DDR3. He can use that to save himself from future updates.

i saw p5k3 deluxe going for 15800
so the p5k-c must be below that
