| 662977 | 2008-04-27 03:32:00 | Hi Guys Just wondering if this (www.giga-byte.com) Gigabyte motherboard would be able to support an Intel Pentium E2### series processor? Even though it is not listed as compatible in the CPU support list, which hasn't been updated to include any of the newer processors. :thanks |

| 662978 | 2008-04-27 04:18:00 | according to the intel site yes E2### is socket 775 the same as this mobo | gary67 (56) | ||
| 662979 | 2008-04-27 04:30:00 | It may need a BIOS update. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 662980 | 2008-04-27 04:43:00 | Core2Duo's do not work with the 955 Chipset. So no. Yours is 955X. Edit: Intel: 865PE/G/GV/G, 945P/PL/G/GZ/GC, 965P/G, 975X, P/G/Q965, Q963, 946GZ/PL, P3x, G3x, Q3x, X38, X48 en.wikipedia.org |

| 662981 | 2008-04-27 05:30:00 | gary67 knew both were 775 and therefore "physically" compatible that wasn't the problem. qazwsxokmijn thought that might be the case. trinsic the E2### series isn't a core 2 duo. |

| 662983 | 2008-04-27 07:58:00 | trinsic the E2### series isn't a core 2 duo. It still uses the Core 2 micro-architecture. The name is a put-off. I'd be wary about it. |

| 662984 | 2008-04-27 08:11:00 | What about one of these (www.giga-byte.com) boards then? Would that be better in terms of CPU support? :thanks |

Would that be better in terms of CPU support? :thanks Gigabyte are usually quite good at keeping their pages up to date. If it doesn't say it does then it usually wont support/work. Chipset 965X or P31 or P35 or G31 or G33 are your options in the cheap sector. |

| 662986 | 2008-04-27 11:05:00 | So have you bought one of these motherboards already? What are you planning on doing? I tend to look for hardware at ascent, and then look on pricespy for better prices, as ascent have a really good, refineable, search engine, and an easy to navigate site. That's if you're buying new hardware. |
