New MoBo Old CPU Question

[Krix Luther]

I am slowly replacing my old computer componants & I have been advised on this forum to get this mother board:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128413

(GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD7 LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb)

But I am just wondering if it will support my old CPU + RAM? Which is:

Intel Core (™) 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz?

2x 2GB Kingston RAM?

Also will that mother board crossfire 2 ATI 5870's? I have one already but will get a second when the money is right



Thanks in advance

GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD7 won't support Q6600!

If your RAM is DDR3 then it will support, the specified motherboard won't support DDR2 Ram!
