Hello,<br><br>I would like to know if it is feasible to seek coreboot support<br>for the LGA775 socket and motherboards based on the P965<br>and ICH8R chipsets and controllers.<br>These motherboards, such as ASUS P5B-DE and P5B Deluxe Wifi-AP,<br>
are still offered for sale and their top processors are still competitive<br>despite a few Intel CPU refreshes in the last 3-4 years.<br><br>I am wondering if the following datasheets and specifications would<br>suffice to start working on this port.<br>
