So basically I just have one simple question, and am having troubles finding a direct answer anywhere online.. All I want to know is if the ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 motherboard is compatible with Windows 8. I bought it back when there was only Windows 7, and just want to make sure it's compatible with Windows 8 before I buy it. Thanks in advance.

Oh, also, I need to know if this motherboard can support an 8 core CPU.
 
Solution
The mobo is a 1155 and yes it can run Win8, there are no true 8 core CPUs that run on the 1155, could go a 2600K or 3770K those are i7's with 4 cores and Hyper threading (gives you 4 additional, basically, virtual cores
