I didn't test that motherboard because I always bought socket 775 motherboards that could support C2Q; the 3 that I still have all support C2Q processors.

In the first link, the reply is incorrect because he failed to check the "Since BIOS Version" column like I did. Buy a C2Q if you trust the totally wrong info in the second link. Rely on what the manufacturer says, not on some untrusted info. If you really want a C2Q, then buy a used motherboard that supports it. If I were you I would build a better system.

logainofhades is correct. If the "Since BIOS Version" column says N/A, then that processor is not supported. Unfortunately it says N/A for all C2Q processors and several 1066MHz processors are supported at only 800Mhz which makes them run slower than their rated speed.

We don't need to test this, the manufacturer has already tested it and determined it doesn't work.

Furthermore, any conjecture from outside parties on the processors the motherboards supports it just that, conjecture. Just because a processor fits the socket in the motherboard does not mean the motherboard supports the processor.

What revision is your motherboard? Revision 2.1 won't support it at 1066 MHz, but newer versions will.

Fastest processor that's fully supported:
- revision 2.1: E4700 http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=2425
- revision 3.x: Core 2 Extreme X6800 (FSB overclocked to 1066 MHz) http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=2467
- revision 6.6: Core 2 Extreme X6800 http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=2603
