Does anyone know if any of these motherboards are compatible with the upcoming prescott cpu?

AFAIK, any of these will be compatible with the 478-pin version of Prescott. Might need a BIOS update.

I'm not certain about this but doesn't the Prescott have a different pin array to current Intel CPUs? If this is the case then the new CPU will not be compatible with any current motherboards.

The pinout will be the same, but there seems to be a new voltage regulation requirement for Prescott. As of now, it seems unlikely that current Abit motherboards will support Prescott. Grrrr...
