i have a friend willing to give me a qx9770 to replace my old and slow dual core. he recently upgraded, so i know its a good processor, however i dont think it will work on my motherboard, intel s975xbx2. he says it will just downgrade and run at what the motherboard supports, but i just want a second opinion. i know its faster than mine, but i dont want to ruin something free either.
