Hello,
I'm looking at jumping aboard the quad core juggernaught (it's been weeks since i've bought any new toys...) and would like to go with an S775 Xeon rather than the Q6600, hopefully to get a cooler running chip.
Has anyone used an X3210 or X3220 with the Asus P5N-E SLI? Is there a particular BIOS revision needed for this? I've not seen any postings from people with this combo, but there seems to be quite a few people using Asus boards despite their site not listing compatibility.
If not, any suggestions? I'm not a gamer so don't need massive overclocking, but a nice stable board that will allow me to overclock once I get a stronger PSU would be nice.
Thanks all
