penryn processors support

[kaiser101]

Hi guys,

Forgive my ignorance. I wanted to know if a FSB of 1333 is the only requirement for the penryn processors support, or do G33 and P35 have anything else apart from a G965 or 975 that make them compatible with the new processors?

Cheers

If a said board can do 1333FSB then Penryn is go, but don't quote me on that one as there not out yet. Some P965 mobo do work with 1333FSB/Penryn, but there have been problems with some 975X boards running them.

The Battle Axe2 from Intel have had trouble with 1333FSB processers, since then have pulled support. The P35 will do fine with Penryn/1333FSB. The 1333FSB is a requirement for Penryn.
