Hey there,
First post. This seems like the place to ask this kind of question; hopefully someone can lend a hand!
I've got a P5N-E SLI mobo. I know it's a bit rusty by now, but I'd love to give it a boost before I bite the bullet and do a full rebuild.
I was thinking of putting a Q9400 in there, in place of my Core 2 Duo 2.66 (whatever that one's called!). But I see it's not "officially" a supported CPU. On an earlier thread, someone said that a user (ScOut?) had this combination working. On the site, it says the board supports 45nm 775 CPUs, but the Q9400 isn't listed...
Anyone able to reassure me before I fork over the cash?
Thanks!
