Hi folks,
I've got a brand new Abit IP35 Pro that's been sitting in my closet for months. I was just trying to find out if I can use the i5 processor with it. Or, might I just be better off getting a Quad Xtreme. I'm just looking to build a faster machine [current one is a Q6600 8GB RAM] - no gaming but do run video and lots of VM's on it.
Any thought or suggestions would be appreciated.

Nope. It's a completely different socket with a completely different method of connecting to the system.

------------------------------ Asus P6T deluxe
i7 965 @ 4.2GHz (200*21), 1.384V
12GB Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600 CAS 7

Before you do hardware changes you should investigate it yourself.
Go to the page for your motherboard and check for the CPUs supported.
In this case it was very easy to see that it wouldn't work because it was a socket change, but some mobos will not support all the CPUs even if they're the same socket.
Sometimes you will need a BIOS update, and sometimes the CPU will not be supported at all.

Well, you will have some trouble fitting the CPU in the first place.

Actually, it would physically fit: Socket 775 and Socket 1156 parts have the same X-Y dimensions (hence the probable confusion). There are just a lot more lands on 1156...

I don't speak for Intel, they don't speak for me.

I take it your incapable of going to Abit.com and looking up the cpu support list for your P35 motherboard? Or maybe your just too lazy...

But how obvious is it that it won't fit?
