Hi
I have a foxconn G9657MA-8EKRS2H which utilises the Intel 965G chipset.
The bios will support the conroe dual cores e.g. E6420 but at the moment will not support wolfdale core 2 duo e.g E7500
I have read all your tutorials, which were very informative and I think that there is an intel cpu micro code update avialable for the 965G chipset that has been used by HP owners to update and run the wolfdales, so I beleive it can be done.
here is a link to the thread..

looks like many people were successful.
I would like to learn how to do this myself and was considering subscribing to your "new bios modders" request..
This is a link to the board bios, xxxxx 61 is the latest..
As far as a donor bios would I be looking for a 775 socket board where the 965G chipset already supports wolfdales? Or is this now not neccessary due to the note about ACPITBL.
Any thoughts on whether you think this update will be possible?
cheers.
