Hello, I have a MSI MS-7267 945GCM5 FSB 1333 motherboard, and I want to know if it can support Intel xeons.
It uses an Intel 945G chipset which is not compatible with core 2 quads, the Xeon is based off of the core 2 quad though.
On the MSI website, it says that the maximum CPU the mobo can handle is a core 2 duo e6700, which is really strange, because my mobo is running a core 2 duo e8400, on CPU-upgrade.com, it says that my
mobo can use an Xeon, I've verified that my exact mobo is on the cpu support website since it shows the core 2 duo e8400 on the support list, but not MSI's support list, I'm really stumped here. Can anybody help?
EDIT: here's the CPU support list
