Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3P and Intel Xeon 3210

[atomant]

One quick question. Will the GA-EP35-DS3P http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2742work with Intel's Xeon 3210? I'm planning to build a system based on these two since the Xeon is more affordable than a Q6600 here in my country.

I have a GA-P35-DS3P (Rev. 2.0) and a X3210. It works, but only up to 2.66mHz. For some reason it won't go past it, so I think I should RMA it once I find a time where I can be without a computer for 3+ weeks. My assumptions that the -EP35- and -P35- are similar except that one has a few extra settings in BIOS to make it "green."
