ok thanks, but one last if stupid question. when intel says 'support' do they just mean that the processor will perform best with that chipset and higher model chipsets or are they saying that if i did put a p4d with a 915p it would absolutely refuse to even recognize that the processor was even there?

In this case, the board won't even recognize the processor. Sometimes the definition of support is blurry. i.e. Some older Intel chipsets (440BX) were said to not support 133FSB PIII's. But, some boards would run them, it was just hard on the chipset(heat), and would throw the AGP/PCI bus's way out of spec. Thus some boards had BIOS's that would allow 133FSB(overclock) and run the PCI/AGP bus in spec.
